Answer:

[tex]13\frac{1}{3}\ cookies[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Amar makes each cookie with 6 oz of cookie dough

we have

5 lb of cookie dough

Convert to ounces

1 lb=16 oz

so

5 lb=5*16=80 oz

Using proportion

Let

x ------> the number of cookies

[tex]\frac{1}{6}\frac{cookie}{oz}=\frac{x}{80}\frac{cookies}{oz}\\\\x=80/6\\ \\x=13.33\ cookies[/tex]

Convert to mixed number

[tex]13.33=13\frac{1}{3}\ cookies[/tex]

therefore

He can make [tex]13\frac{1}{3}\ cookies[/tex]
