How many apples are in a 5-lb bag of apples, assuming each apples weighs 9 oz?
1 pound = 16 ounces
(5 * 16) / 9 = ?
17 apples 3 apples in each bag with leftover how many apples are not in bags
To determine the number of apples in a 5-lb bag, we first need to convert pounds to ounces because the weight of each apple is given in ounces.
Since there are 16 ounces in 1 pound, we can multiply 5 pounds by 16 to get the weight of the bag in ounces.
5 pounds * 16 ounces/pound = 80 ounces
Next, we divide the weight of the bag by the weight of each apple to find the number of apples.
80 ounces / 9 ounces/apple ≈ 8.89 apples
Since we cannot have a fraction of an apple, we round down to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, there are approximately 8 apples in a 5-lb bag of apples, assuming each apple weighs 9 ounces.
