I thought you were checking your answers. Oh, well, you'll probably understand these problems if you take this course again, Obviously, at this point, this level of math is too hard for you.
C'mon, kristin, think for a second.
You have 60 oz.
You need 64 oz.
Do you think you have enough?
I think I do have enough ??
Hmmm. If you need more than you have, do you have enough?
no
he will help you mathhelp
No you do not have enough fruit because 1 pound equals 16 ounces so multiply 4 by 16 and it equals 64 so you need four more ounces because you only have 60 ounces of fruit
To determine if you have enough fruit for the recipe, you need to compare the amount of fruit you have (60 ounces) to the amount required by the recipe (4 pounds).
To proceed, let's convert the units so that we can compare them. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, we can convert the 4 pounds into ounces. So, 4 pounds would be equal to 4 * 16 = 64 ounces.
Now, we can answer the questions:
A. Do you have as much fruit as you need?
No, you do not have as much fruit as you need because you only have 60 ounces, and the recipe requires 64 ounces (equivalent to 4 pounds).
B. If not, how much more do you need?
To determine how much more fruit you need, subtract the amount you have (60 ounces) from the required amount (64 ounces). Therefore, you would need an additional 64 - 60 = 4 ounces of fruit.
