Ben requires 1.75 pounds of cream cheese for a cake. He has 4 ounces of cream cheese. Cream cheese is available in the store in blocks. Each block is 8 ounces. What is the minimum number of blocks of cream cheese Ben has to buy?
The answer is 3.5 because 1.75 pounds equals 28 ounces and we know ben already has 4 ounces so he will only need 24 ounces which is equivalent to 3 blocks.
