Answer: 27 ounces of chicken.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sara has 2 pounds of chicken.
She uses 5 ounces of chicken.
So now, she has:
(2 pounds - 5 ounces ) of chicken.
To perform this subtraction, we first need to write bot quantities in the same units.
First, we know that:
1 pound = 16 ounces.
Then we can rewrite 2 pounds, this is equal to 2 times 16 ounces.
2 pounds = 2*16 ounces = 32 ounces.
Then initially she has 32 ounces, and she uses 5 ounces.
Now she has:
(32 ounces - 5 ounces) = 27 ounces of chicken
