You're welcome.
To calculate the number of ounces of flour the baker will use in 2 weeks, we need to find the total amount of flour used in a day and then multiply it by the number of days in 2 weeks.
First, we know that the baker uses 5.5 pounds of flour daily. To convert pounds to ounces, we can use the conversion factor: 1 pound equals 16 ounces.
So, 5.5 pounds of flour equals 5.5 x 16 = 88 ounces of flour daily.
Now, we need to find the number of days in 2 weeks. One week has 7 days, so 2 weeks have 2 x 7 = 14 days.
To find the total number of ounces of flour used in 2 weeks, we multiply the daily amount by the number of days:
88 ounces x 14 days = 1232 ounces.
Therefore, the baker will use 1232 ounces of flour in 2 weeks.
