Mrs. Spence wants to divide 4 1/2 lb of peanuts among her 12 students. How many ounces can she give to each student?
16 ounces in a pound, so 4.5*16 = 72 ounces Then, since you want to split it among 12 students 72/12 = 6
So each student would get 6 ounces.
3/8 oz.
Sorry, accidently put wrong answer there. Tired. Yura's right
