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 Ibs , how many flyers must he pass out ?
[ Help or Answers are appreciated greatly. Thank you. ]
16 oz = 1 pound
16.5 lbs * 16 oz/lb = 264 oz
Each paper = 0.55 oz
264/0.55 = ? number of papers
1 pound = 16 ounces
16.5 * 16 = 264 oz.
264/0.55 = ?
Thanks so much ! Helper and Ms.Sue :]
You're very welcome.
To find out how many flyers Patrick must pass out, we can use the given weights of the flyers and the total weight of the bundle.
1. Convert the weight of the bundle from pounds to ounces.
- Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, multiply the weight by 16.
- 16.5 pounds * 16 ounces/pound = 264 ounces.
2. Divide the total weight of the bundle by the weight of each flyer.
- 264 ounces / 0.55 ounce/flyer = 480 flyers.
Therefore, Patrick must pass out 480 flyers in his summer job.
