How many 8 oz blocks of cream cheese would you need for one and one-half pounds?

To answer this question, you need to determine how many 8-ounce blocks of cream cheese are in one and one-half pounds. There are 16 ounces in one pound, so one and one-half pounds is equal to 24 ounces. Each 8-ounce block of cream cheese is 8 ounces, so you would need 24 / 8 = 3 8-ounce blocks of cream cheese for one and one-half pounds.
