Each serving of oatmeal is 8 ounces. How many servings are in a 5-lb bag of oats
I know that there are 16 ounces in 1one pound I just need help with the how many servings are in a 5-lb bag
To find the number of servings in a 5-lb bag of oats, we need to convert the weight of the bag into the same unit as the weight of each serving.
First, we need to convert pounds to ounces. Since 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces, we can multiply the weight of the bag by 16:
5 lb * 16 oz/lb = 80 oz
Now that we have the weight of the bag in ounces, we can divide it by the weight of each serving to find the number of servings in the bag:
80 oz ÷ 8 oz/serving = 10 servings
Therefore, there are 10 servings in a 5-lb bag of oats.
1 pound = 16 ounces
So one serving is half a pound.
