Graeme is weighing cookies to see how many he can fit in his box. His box can only hold 40 pounds of cookies. If each cookie weighs 2 ounces, how many cookies can he fit in the box?
Let’s work this out in a step by step way to be sure we have the right answer.
320
First find how many cookies are in a pound.

16 ounces per pound / 2 ounces / cookie = 8 cookies per pound.

The box can hold 40 pounds, so 40 pounds * 8 cookies per pound = 320 cookies.

So, the answer is 320
