D. The store sold 11 1/4 pounds of cashews.

Answer:

The correct options are:

B. The store sold 120 fewer ounces of cashews than walnuts.

C. The store sold 7 1/2 more pounds of walnuts than cashews.

D. The store sold 11 1/4 pounds of cashews.

Step-by-step explanation:

A store sells two different kinds of nuts cashews and walnuts.

1. Cashews come in 6 ounces cans

2. Walnuts come in 10 ounces cans

On Friday the store sold 30 of each can of nuts.

The amount of cashews sold is given by

cashews sold = 30*6 = 180 ounces

The amount of walnuts sold is given by

walnuts sold = 30*10 = 300 ounces

The total amount of nuts sold is given by

Total nuts sold = cashews sold + walnuts sold

Total nuts sold = 180 + 300 = 480 ounces

The difference between amount of cashews and amount of walnuts sold is given by

Difference = walnuts sold - cashews sold

Difference = 300 - 180 = 120 ounces

A. The store sold 580 ounces of nuts in all.

Option A is wrong since the total amount of nuts sold is 480 ounces.

B. The store sold 120 fewer ounces of cashews than walnuts.

Option B is correct since the difference between amount of cashews and amount of walnuts sold is 120 ounces.

C. The store sold 7 1/2 more pounds of walnuts than cashews.

Let us convert ounces into pounds.

We know that 1 ounce is equal to 1/16 pounds

So 120 ounces is equal to 120 * (1/16) = 7.5 pounds or 7 1/2

Therefore, option C is correct, the store sold 7 1/2 more pounds of walnuts than cashews.

D. The store sold 11 1/4 pounds of cashews.

180 ounces is equal to 180 * (1/16) = 11.25 pounds or 11 1/4

Therefore, option D is correct, the store sold 11 1/4 pounds of cashews.
