Victoria has 2 pounds of flour, she uses 2/5 for pizza and 3/10 for bread. Find the weight of the pack of flour that is left..Express in decimal answer. 32 ounces of flour is what she has she uses 2/5 x32=64/5=12and4/5=12.8-32=19.2remaining flour she then uses 3/10 x32=96/10=9 and 3/5=9.6-19.2=9.6 is what she has remaining in weight.. is this close?
No, you are making it too hard. The problem (as you indicated it) does not indicate that you have to convert it to ounces.
2 - 2/5 - 3/10 = 2 - .4 - .3 = 1.3 pounds

Your calculation for the remaining flour after using 2/5 for pizza is not correct. Let me walk you through the correct calculation.
To find the weight of the pack of flour that is left, we need to subtract the amount of flour used from the total weight of the flour.
First, let's calculate the amount of flour used for pizza:
2/5 of 32 ounces = (2/5) * 32 = 12.8 ounces
Next, let's calculate the amount of flour used for bread:
3/10 of 32 ounces = (3/10) * 32 = 9.6 ounces
To find the remaining flour, we subtract the total amount of flour used from the initial weight of 32 ounces:
32 ounces - (12.8 ounces + 9.6 ounces) = 32 - 22.4 = 9.6 ounces
Therefore, the weight of the pack of flour that is left is 9.6 ounces.
Note: The weight is already provided in ounces, so expressing the answer in decimal is not necessary.
