If a package says 16 pieces is 40 grams how many for 2 ounces?

To determine how many pieces are in 2 ounces, we need to first convert the weight from ounces to grams. There are approximately 28.35 grams in one ounce. Therefore, 2 ounces would be 2 ounces * 28.35 grams / ounce = 56.7 grams.

Since the package indicates that 16 pieces is 40 grams, we can calculate the number of pieces in 56.7 grams by setting up a proportion:

(16 pieces / 40 grams) = (x pieces / 56.7 grams)

Cross-multiplying and solving for x, we get:

16 pieces * 56.7 grams = 40 grams * x pieces

907.2 grams = 40 grams * x pieces

x = 907.2 grams / 40 grams

Therefore, there would be approximately 22.68 pieces in 2 ounces.
