Sylvie is feeding her turtles. Each turtle needs 1 ounce of food per 1/2 pound of body weight. She has 30 pounds of turtles. Each jar of food contains 15 ounces and costs $2. How much does it cost to feed the turtles? Let's answer step by step:
She needs 60 ounces of food because 30 / .5 = 60. She needs 4 jars of food because 60 / 15 = 4. It will cost $8 to feed them because 4 x 2 = 8. The answer: 8.
