How much is one third of a pound and a half?
you do 1.5 divided by 3 and you get .5 or a half
By saying "how much" do you mean in ounces? If you do, then remember that there are 16 ounces in 1 pound. Half of 16 is 8, so add that to 16 and you get 24.
That means 24 ounces = 1 pound and a half.
Then, divide that by 3 to get a third, which is 8 ounces.
If you just want to know about it in pounds, look at Brandon's above answer. I hope I helped a little!
Thanks zoey, i shoudve seen that. If you meant in ounces then zoey's the way to go! :)
To calculate one-third of a pound and a half, you need to divide the weight by 3.
First, convert the 1 pound into ounces. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces.
Then, add the additional half pound, which is 8 ounces (half of 16 ounces).
So together, 1 pound and a half is equal to 16 ounces + 8 ounces = 24 ounces.
Now, divide this weight by 3 to find one-third of the 24 ounces:
24 ounces รท 3 = 8 ounces.
Therefore, one-third of a pound and a half is equal to 8 ounces.
