1.Jessica lost some of her money. She found 3/6 of it. What fraction of her money is still missing ? 2.If there are 16 ounces in a pound and a baby weighs 10 pounds, how many ounces does he weigh?
Accepted Solution
A:
Jessica lost 3/6 of her money, or 1/2 of it (divide 3 from top and bottom). 1 - 1/2 = 1/2. 1/2 of Jessica's money is still missing.
There are 16 oz in 1 pound The baby weighs 10 pounds
multiply the oz with the amount of pounds 16 x 10 = 160 the baby weighs 160 oz
