Lily's mother asks lily to buy 4 pounds of flour from the grocery store. The weights on the flour packages are in ounces. The ratio of pounds to ounces is 1: 16 . What is the amount of flour in ounces that lily needs to buy?
if the ratio of pounds to ounces is 1:16 then that means if you multiply both numbers by 4 to get how many ounces is needed for lily's mother... 1x4[tex] \frac{1×4}{16×4} [/tex] your answer then becomes 64
