Answer:
1200
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 convert pounds to ounces
1 pound = 16 ounces
So to convert pounds to ounces we multiply by 16
1500 * 16 = 24000
So there are 24000 ounces in 1500 pounds
Step 2 Find how many 20 ounce containers he can fill.
To find out how many 20 ounce containers he can fill we divide the total amount of ounces of butter that he has by 20
So answer = 24000/20
24000 / 20 = 1200
Therefore he can fill 1200 20 - ounce containers
