Wilson bought fruit that weighs 2 1/2 pounds. How many ounces does the fruit weigh? (16 ounces = 1 pound) Show your work.

Wilson has 40 ounces of fruit.

we know 16 ounces in a pound and we have 2 whole pounds, so we multiple those.
16x2= 32
there is still a half of a pound left therefore we know 16 ounces is a whole pound so we would know a half pound is 16 in half
16/2 = 8
so we then would take 32+8 (our 2 whole pounds and our one half pound converted into ounces) to get 40 ounces. Hope this helps :)

Byou start by adding them all and setting them equal to 180 since that is half of the total degrees in a circle.(2x+8) + (3x-14) + (3x-14) = 1808x-20 = 1808x = 200x = 25
