Divide by 4 = 12 apples.-Three 3 lb weights = 9 lbs.......

I need to first write out questions/steps of how to solve it and show work.

How many apples that weigh 4 oz in a pound.

16 oz in a pound so 16oz/4oz = 4 apples/pound

How many total apples in 3 pounds: 4 apples/pound * 3 pounds = 12 apples.

-

1 pound = 16 ounces

3*3(pounds) = 9 pounds weights
16/4 = 4 apples in 1 pound
9*4 = 36 apples needed to balance 3 weights.

-

4 ounces is 1/4 of a pound
so 4 apples make one pound
so 3*4 apples make 3 pounds

-

16 ounces per pound, so 48 ounces
Divide by 4 = 12 apples.

-

Three 3 lb weights = 9 lbs.

9 lbs times 16 oz per pound = 9 x 16 = 144 ounces

144 oz / 4 oz = 36 apples
