well, each bag weighs 1/2 lb.
How many halves in 12?
To find out how many bags of chips weigh 12 pounds, we need to convert the weight of the chips from pounds to ounces and then divide it by the weight of a single bag.
Step 1: Convert pounds to ounces
Since there are 16 ounces in 1 pound, we can multiply 12 pounds by 16 ounces/pound to get the weight in ounces:
12 pounds * 16 ounces/pound = 192 ounces
Step 2: Divide the total weight by the weight of a single bag
If a bag of chips weighs 8 ounces, we can divide the total weight (192 ounces) by the weight of a single bag (8 ounces):
192 ounces / 8 ounces per bag = 24 bags
Therefore, 24 bags of chips weigh 12 pounds.
