Answer: 17.46 oz
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are looking for how much coffee we can buy, we can set up a proportion to solve. First, we have to convert the 2 pounds to ounces because that is the unit the question is asking for.
[tex]2lbs*\frac{16oz}{1lbs} =32 oz[/tex]
Now that we have the ounces, we can set up the proportion.
[tex]\frac{32.98}{32oz} =\frac{17.99}{x}[/tex]
We can cross multiply to find x.
[tex]32.98x=17.99*32[/tex]
[tex]32.98x=575.68[/tex]
[tex]x=17.46oz[/tex]
