Answer:
10 1/8 pounds of flour is needed
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to make 54 servings of fried tofu
Each serving calls for 3 ounces of flour
Total amount of flour needed = # of servings * required ounces of flour per serving
Total amount of flour needed = 54 * 3 = 162 ounces
The question asks us how many pounds of flour needed, our answer is in ounces so we have to convert.
1 pound = 16 ounces
So to find the # of pounds required we simply divide our answer by 16
# of pounds of flour needed = 162 / 16 = 10.125 or 10 and 1/8ths
