In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.
Step 01:
data:
rolled oats:
price = $8 per pound
total money = $4.45
Step 02:
unit conversion:
1 pound = 16 ounces
pound to ounces:
[tex]\frac{\text{ \$ }8}{pound}\text{ * }\frac{1\text{ pound}}{16\text{ ounces}}=\text{ }\frac{\text{ \$ }0.5\text{ }}{ounce}[/tex]how many ounces:
[tex]\text{ \$ 4.45 * }\frac{ounce}{\text{ \$ 0.5 }}\text{ = 8.9 ounces}[/tex]The answer is:
8.9 ounces
