If a pound of cocoa cost $8, how many ounces can be bought for $2.25?

Step-by-step explanation:

A pound of cocoa is 16 ounces.

We'll do 8 dollars / 16 ounces and get = 0.5 dollars per ounce.

Now you can divide 2.25 dollars / 0.5 dollars and get 4.5, which is the ounces you can buy with 2.25 dollars.

You can also add 0.5 until you get 2.25.

0.5+0.5 = 1 + 0.5 = 1.5 + 0.5 = 2 + 0.25 (which is 0.25 because half of 0.5 is 0.25)

2 3 4 0.5

i think 0.140 ounces
