Question

Tell whether you need to multiply or divide: A dime weighs about 1/12 ounce. Jody has 16 ounces of dimes. About many dimes does she have?

Answer 1

12 dimes = 1 ounce
16 ounces= 12 times 16 = 192 dimes

Answer 2

You have to divide to figure out the number of dimes you get and if you divide 16 divided by 1/12 you would get 192.
