To determine the number of bags of chips that weigh 12 pounds, we need to convert the weight from pounds to ounces and then divide it by the weight of a single bag of chips.
First, let's convert 12 pounds to ounces. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, we can calculate:
12 pounds * 16 ounces/pound = 192 ounces
Now, we know that a bag of corn chips weighs 8 ounces. To find the number of bags that weigh 192 ounces, we divide the total weight by the weight of a single bag:
192 ounces / 8 ounces/bag = 24 bags
Therefore, there are 24 bags of chips that weigh 12 pounds.
