No.
Potatoes = 16 ounces
How many ounces did the onions weigh?
Your problem asks how many pounds were in the second bag.
Your answers are incorrect.
First off, remember what Ms. Sue said above for the first answer post.
"16 ounces = 1 pound
4 ounces = 0.25 pounds"
First question:
potatoes-----16 ounces - leave as is
onions-------1.5 pounds-must convert into ounces-this is where you made a mistake.
1.5 pounds = ? ounces
16 + ? = ? ounces.
The first bag weighs ? ounces.
Second question:
celery-------4 ounces - convert into pounds
tomatoes-----1 pound
garlic-------4 ounces - convert into pounds
4 ounces = ? pounds
1 pound = 1 pound
4 ounces = ? pounds
1 + ? + ? = ?
For the first question, you MUST CONVERT POUNDS INTO OUNCES.
For the second question, you MUST CONVERT OUNCES INTO POUNDS.
