A stick of butter weighs a quarter pound.

How much do 13 sticks of butter weigh?

How do you do this problem

13 sticks of butter would weigh 3 pounds and a quarter which can also be expressed as 3.25 pounds!

Step-by-step explanation:

If one stick weighs a quarter then that means 4 sticks would weigh a full pound. When you multiply this by 3 you get 12 sticks of butter (3 pounds) and the 13th stick would add a quarter.

you divide 13 by four and you get 3 and a quarter. thats your answer
