Nestor needs 2 pounds of sugar for a huge bake sale he is hosting. Dominga is able to lend 14 ounces of sugar to Nestor. Nestor still needs ____A_____ pounds or ____B_____ ounces of sugar. please help me 66 pts

Respuesta :

If nestor is given 14 ounces, there are 16 onces in a pound so he would still need a pound and 2 ounces or 18 ounces in total.

1 pound = 16 ounces

he was given 14 ounces

 so he would need 1 pound and 2 ounces more = 1.125 pounds

 1 pound and 2 ounces = 16 +2 = 18 ounces
