Jason eats 10 ounces of candy in 5 days.
a. how many pounds does he eat per day? (recall: 16 ounces = 1 pound)
b. how long will it take jason to eat 1 pound of candy?

a). 0.125 pounds

b). 8 days

Step-by-step explanation:

a). How many pounds he eats in a day

If Jason eat 10 ounces in 5 days, then to get the amount of ounces he eats in one day, we take (10 ounces×1 day)/5 days=2 ounces

Since 16 ounces=1 pound, then expressing 2 ounces in form of pound we get= (2×1)/16=0.125 pounds

b)How long it will take to eat 1 pound

Since he takes 1 day to eat 0.125 pounds of candy, then in order to eat 1 pound we will have; (1 pound×1 day)/0.125 pounds=8 days
