Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The cost of a pound of rolled oats is $4. We want to find out how many ounces can be bought for$ .153. There are16 ounces in a pound

STEP 2

First, we need to find the cost of rolled oats per ounce. We can do this by dividing the cost of a pound by the number of ounces in a pound.
$Cost\, per\, ounce = Cost\, per\, pound / Number\, of\, ounces\, in\, a\, pound$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the cost per pound and the number of ounces in a pound to calculate the cost per ounce.
$Cost\, per\, ounce = \$ /16$

STEP 4

Calculate the cost per ounce.
$Cost\, per\, ounce = \$4 /16 = \$0.25$

STEP 5

Now that we have the cost per ounce, we can find out how many ounces can be bought for $2.15. We can do this by dividing the amount of money we have by the cost per ounce.
$Number\, of\, ounces = Amount\, of\, money / Cost\, per\, ounce$

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the amount of money and the cost per ounce to calculate the number of ounces.
$Number\, of\, ounces = \$2.15 / \$0.25$

STEP 7

Calculate the number of ounces.
$Number\, of\, ounces = \$2.15 / \$0.25 =.6$ We can buy.6 ounces of rolled oats for $2.15.
