Answer:
a) 2.5 lbs is 125% of 32 oz
b) 32 oz is 80% of 2.5 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find what percent of 32 oz is 2.5 lbs.
Note that; 1 lbs is 16 oz
Therefore we want to find what percent of 2 lbs is 2.5 lbs
The number that comes after the word "of" becomes our denominator of the fraction we would convert into percentage;
[tex]\frac{2.5}{2} =1.25[/tex]
Therefore 125% of 32oz is 2.5lbs
b) This time we want to find what percent of 2.5lbs is 32oz or 2lbs
So our denominator now is rather 2.5
[tex]\frac{2}{2.5} =0.8[/tex]
Therefore 32 oz is 80% of 2.5 lbs
