Answer:
49.5 ounces the flower
3 pounds, 1.5 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
24 cupcakes 9 ounces of flower
Number of ounces of flower required for 132 cupcakes will be x
Using cross multiplication method :
24 cupcakes = 9 ounces
132 cupcakes = x ounces
Cross multiply :
24 * x = 132 * 9
24x = 1188
divide both sides by 24 to isolate x
x = 49.5
Hence, 49.5 ounces the flower is required for 132 cupcakes
To express in pounds :
1 pound = 16 ounces
49.5 ounces = 3 pounds 1.5 ounces
