Question

Mrs. Morgan bought a 3-pound bag of candy for her class. She gave away 1 pound of candy during the first class of the day and ate 3 ounces of candy during planning. How many ounces of candy does Mrs. Morgan still have in her bag?

Answer 1

Mrs.Morgan starts off with 3 pounds of candy. She gave away 1 pound which leaves her with 2. However, she ate 3 ounces of candy.

Mrs.Morgan has a pound and thirteen ounces of candy left. This could also be considered as 29 ounces, because 1 lb and 3 ounces is equal to 29 ounces.
