A casserole recipe calls for 4 ounces of cheese. Adrian wants to use 1/2 of the amount of cheese in his casseroles. How many pounds of cheese does he need to make 28 casseroles with his revised recipe?

She will need 3.5 pounds of cheese to make the 28 casseroles

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the amount of cheese in pounds needed to make 28 casseroles.

In the revised recipe, she intends using 1/2 of what is supposed to be used in the original recipe. Mathematically, since each original casseroles is meant to take 4 ounces of cheese, the revised recipe taking half will have 1/2 × 4 = 2 ounces of cheese per casserole

Now for 28 casseroles based on the revised recipe, the total amount of cheese to be used mathematically is equal to 28 × 2 = 56 ounces of casserole

The questions asks that our answer be in pounds

Mathematically, 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds

Hence, 56 ounces of casseroles will be 56 × 0.0625 = 3.5 pounds of cheese

i believe the answer to be 48
