Problem

A chef is preparing a large batch of sauce. The recipe calls for 1 pound of tomatoes, 12 ounces of onions, and 0.3 tons of peppers. After mixing all the ingredients, how many pounds of sauce does the chef have in total?

Step

Given:

1 pound of tomatoes

12 ounces of onions

0.3 tons of peppers

Hint

Conversions:

1 pound = 1 pound

12 ounces = \$12/16\$ = 0.75 pounds (as 1 pound = 16 ounces)

0.3 tons = \$ 0.3 \times 2000\$ = 600 pounds (as 1 ton = 2000 pounds)

Step

Now, add the weights of all the ingredients:

Total weight in pounds = 1

1 pound + 0.75 pounds + 600 pounds

Step

After addition, we get

601.75 pounds

Step

Therefore, the chef has a total of 601.75 pounds of sauce after mixing all the ingredients.
