Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The coffee shop sells coffee in14-ounce bags. The roaster can prepare42 pounds of coffee beans at one time3.1 pound is equal to16 ounces

STEP 2

First, we need to convert the weight of the coffee beans from pounds to ounces, because the weight of the coffee in each bag is given in ounces.
$Weight\, in\, ounces = Weight\, in\, pounds \\times16$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given value for the weight in pounds to calculate the weight in ounces.
$Weight\, in\, ounces =42 \\times16$

STEP 4

Calculate the weight in ounces.
$Weight\, in\, ounces =42 \\times16 =672$

STEP 5

Now that we have the total weight of the coffee beans in ounces, we can divide this by the weight of each bag to find the number of bags that can be packaged from one batch.
$Number\, of\, bags = Weight\, in\, ounces / Weight\, of\, each\, bag$

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the weight in ounces and the weight of each bag to calculate the number of bags.
$Number\, of\, bags =672 /14$

STEP 7

Calculate the number of bags that can be packaged from one batch.
$Number\, of\, bags =672 /14 =48$ From one batch,48 bags of beans can be packaged.
