Answer 1

Part A:

A pound is a larger unit than an ounce, so we should multiply the number of pounds by 16 to find the number of ounces. Therefore, 2 pounds is equal to 32 ounces.

Part B:

Her mother uses 4 ounces per day to brew coffee, so for a week (7 days), she would use 28 ounces. Since Renee bought her mother 32 ounces of coffee, she did buy enough coffee for her mother for a week.

Therefore, the answer is A. Yes.

Answer 2

Part A:

A pound is a larger unit than an ounce, so divide the number of pounds by 16 to find the number of ounces. Therefore, 2 pounds is equal to 32 ounces.

Part B:
To determine if Renee bought her mother enough coffee for the week, we need to calculate the total amount of coffee her mother would use in a week. Since her mother uses 4 ounces of coffee per day, we can multiply that by 7 (number of days in a week) to get the total amount per week.

4 ounces/day * 7 days/week = 28 ounces/week

Since Renee bought her mother 32 ounces of coffee, which is more than the 28 ounces her mother would use in a week, the answer is:

B. no

Answer 3

Part A:

A pound is a larger unit than an ounce, so we need to convert the number of pounds to ounces. Therefore, we multiply the number of pounds by 16 to find the number of ounces. Therefore, 2 pounds is equal to 32 ounces.
