Ali went to the store to buy vegetables .He bought 16 ounce of potatoes,1.5 pounds of onions, 4 ounce of celery 1 pound of tomatoes ,and 4 ounce of garlic what is the total weight of the vegetables in pounds help me please
16 ounces = 1 pound
To find the total weight of the vegetables in pounds, we need to convert the weight of each item into pounds and then add all the weights together.
Given:
16 ounce of potatoes
1.5 pounds of onions
4 ounce of celery
1 pound of tomatoes
4 ounce of garlic
To convert ounces to pounds, we need to remember that there are 16 ounces in a pound.
1 pound = 16 ounces
Therefore:
16 ounces of potatoes = 16/16 = 1 pound
4 ounces of celery = 4/16 = 0.25 pounds
4 ounces of garlic = 4/16 = 0.25 pounds
Now let's calculate the total weight in pounds:
Total weight = 1 pound (potatoes) + 1.5 pounds (onions) + 0.25 pounds (celery) + 1 pound (tomatoes) + 0.25 pounds (garlic)
Total weight = 1 + 1.5 + 0.25 + 1 + 0.25 = 4 pounds
So, the total weight of the vegetables is 4 pounds.
