Given:
A recipe that requires 4 pounds of fruit
Available amount of fruit = 60 ounces
Determine if the available amount of fruit is enough.
Solution:
We must convert first ounces to pounds to determine if the value is enough or more that the required amount.
1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds
Multiply the ounces by 0.0625
= (60)(0.0625)
= 3.75 pounds
Final answer:
The amount is not enough to make the recipe since the recipe requires 4 pounds, while the only available amount is 3.75 pounds.
