A recipe calls for 8 oz of figs the come in packages 100g how many boxes should you buy?

To determine how many boxes of figs you should buy, you need to convert the weight of figs required in the recipe (8 oz) to grams and compare it with the weight of figs in each package (100g).

1. Convert ounces (oz) to grams (g):

1 ounce (oz) = 28.35 grams (g)

8 ounces (oz) = 8 x 28.35 grams (g) = 226.8 grams (g)

2. Compare the weight of figs required with the weight in each package:

Each package of figs contains 100 grams (g).

To find the number of packages needed, divide the total weight required (226.8 grams) by the weight in each package (100 grams):

Number of packages = 226.8 grams / 100 grams = 2.268

3. Since you can't buy a fraction of a package, you should buy 3 boxes of figs to ensure you have enough for the recipe.
