If there are 16 ounces in a pound. how many pounds are in 24 ounces

1.5 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are 16 ounces in 1 pound.

To find how many pounds are in 24 ounces, simply divide 24 by 16.

Doing this, you get 1.5 pounds.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
