9. How many \( 4-\mathrm{oz} \) candy bars are there in a 3- ib . package of candy?

To find out how many 4-oz candy bars are in a 3 lb package, we first need to convert pounds to ounces. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, a 3 lb package contains \( 3 \times 16 = 48 \) ounces. Now, we divide the total ounces by the size of each candy bar: \[ \frac{48 \text{ oz}}{4 \text{ oz/bar}} = 12 \text{ bars} \] So, there are 12 candy bars in a 3 lb package! Now, wouldn’t it be great to visualize those candy bars? Imagine unwrapping each one, setting them all neatly in a row, and then treating yourself to a tiny candy bar party! That’s a sweet deal of 12 treats waiting for you! For anyone wondering about portion control or sharing these bars, did you know that a fun way to break the candy is to set up a candy bar buffet? You can display these 12 bars and let everyone grab their favorites, mixing flavors and making it a colorful treat! Sharing is caring, after all!
