Brian has a melon that weighs 3 pounds. He cuts it into six equal pieces .how many ounces did each piece weigh?

8 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

1 lb = 16 oz

3 lb = 3 * 1 lb = 3 * 16 oz = 48 oz

The melon weighs 48 oz.

48 oz / 6 = 8 oz

8 oz

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:
