Hi! Can someone check my answers for these two questions?
Cheryl pours 1 pint of milk from a full 1-gallon jug. How much milk remains in the jug?
1 pint
3 pints
5 pints
7 pints**
Ada buys 3 pounds 8 ounces of ham and 4 pounds 2 ounces of cheese for a party. How much ham and cheese did she buy?
5 pounds 12 ounces or 5 3/4 pounds
7 pounds 9 ounces
7 pounds 10 ounces or 7 5/8 pounds**
8 pounds
Am I correct?
1 gallon * (4 qt/gal)(2 pt/qt) = 8 pt/gal
8-7 = 7 sure enough
7 pounds 10 oz
and 10/16 = 5/8 sure enough
convert 96 ounces into pounds and explain how you determined the answer (3 points)
Yes, you are correct!
To check your answers:
1) Cheryl pours 1 pint of milk from a full 1-gallon jug. Since there are 8 pints in a gallon, subtracting 1 pint from a gallon leaves 7 pints remaining. Therefore, the correct answer is 7 pints.
2) Ada buys 3 pounds 8 ounces of ham and 4 pounds 2 ounces of cheese. To find the total amount, you can add the pounds and ounces separately.
Adding the pounds: 3 pounds + 4 pounds = 7 pounds
Adding the ounces: 8 ounces + 2 ounces = 10 ounces
Since there are 16 ounces in 1 pound, you can convert the 10 ounces to pounds by dividing it by 16.
10 ounces / 16 = 0.625 pounds
Therefore, the total weight of ham and cheese is 7 pounds 0.625 pounds, which can be simplified as 7 pounds 10 ounces or 7 5/8 pounds. So your second answer is correct as well.
For the first question, Cheryl pours 1 pint of milk from a full 1-gallon jug. To find out how much milk remains in the jug, we need to convert the units to be consistent.
There are 8 pints in 1 gallon. Since Cheryl pours 1 pint out, the remaining milk in the jug would be (8 - 1) pints, which is 7 pints.
So, for the first question, the correct answer is 7 pints.
For the second question, Ada buys 3 pounds 8 ounces of ham and 4 pounds 2 ounces of cheese for a party. To find out how much ham and cheese she bought, we need to add the weights together.
First, we can convert the ounces to pounds. There are 16 ounces in 1 pound. So, 8 ounces is equal to 8/16 = 0.5 pounds.
So, the weight of the ham is 3 pounds + 0.5 pounds = 3.5 pounds.
Similarly, the weight of the cheese is 4 pounds + 0.125 pounds = 4.125 pounds.
Therefore, the correct answer for the second question is 7 pounds 10 ounces or 7 5/8 pounds.
Based on the explanations provided, it seems that your answers are correct!
