Patrick has a summer job passing out flyers for a store. Each flyer weighs about 0.55 ounce. If he is given a bundle of flyers that weighs 16.5 lbs, how many flyers must he pass out?
a)105
b)300
c)480
d)560
I think the answer is b. Is it right?
Nope. Sorry.
To find the number of ounces in 16.5 pounds, multiply 16.5 by 16. Divide the answer by 0.55.
so the answer is c?
Yes.

To find the number of flyers Patrick must pass out, we need to first convert the weight of the flyers bundle from pounds to ounces. Then we can divide the total weight in ounces by the weight of each flyer to find the quantity.
1 pound = 16 ounces
So, the weight of the flyer bundle in ounces is:
16.5 lbs * 16 oz/lb = 264 oz
Now, we can divide the total weight of the flyers bundle by the weight of each flyer:
264 oz / 0.55 oz/flyer ≈ 480 flyers
Therefore, Patrick must pass out approximately 480 flyers.
Hence, the answer is c) 480.
