Answer:
Question is: Mom can make 10 brownies from a 12-ounce package. The brownie mix is also sold in 1 and a half-pound bags. How many bags would be needed to make 120 brownies?
Step-by-step explanation:
As mentioned in question,
10 brownies made from = 12 ounce package
120 brownies will be made from = 10 * 12 packages
now 12 packages will have ounces = 12 * 12 = 144 ounces
We also know that packages are one and a half pounds
Applying conversion factor = 1.5 pound = 24 ounces
Now we can find answer: 144 ounces total requires / 24 ounces
Answer = 6 bags
6 bags of 1.5 pounds will be required for 120 brownies.
