The johnson’s sold corn at a local farmers market. they sold 56 1/2 pounds of corn to 15 customers. how many total ounces of corn did they sell?

The family sold 904 ounces of corn.

Because the corn sold was measured in pounds and the answer should be in ounces, your first step should be to convert the pounds of corn sold to ounces.

A pound is equivalent to 16 ounces so if the family sold 56.5 pounds, the quantity they sold in ounces is:

Conversion factor for pound to ounces = 16

= Quantity in pounds x conversion factor

= 56.5 x 16

= 904 ounces

The family sold 904 ounces of corn.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise you can convert from mixed numbers to decimal numbers.

To do this, you need to add the whole number part and the quotient obtained by dividing the numerator by the denominator of the fraction. Then this is:

Finally, you can make the conversion from pounds to ounces.

Since , you get that the total ounces of corn the Johnsons sold to 15 customers is:

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1
