How many packages of cream cheese equals 2 pounds?

Answer 1

There are 16 ounces to a pound, thus an 8 ounce package of cream cheese is 1/2 pound. If you want 2 1/2 pounds of cream cheese, you want 5 packages of cream cheese.

I assume that "2 12 pounds" means 2 1/2 pounds, but if you wanted a different amount, you can do one of the following calculations:

a) Multiply the number of pounds by 2 (which is the same as dividing by the 1/2 lb weight of the package of cream cheese) to determine the number of packages;

or

b) Convert the number of pounds to ounces by multiplying by 16, then dividing that amount by 8 (the weight of the package of cream cheese in ounces) to determine the number of packages.

Answer 2

Since cream cheese usually comes in 4-ounce and 8-ounce packages, and since there are 16 ounces to the pound, it would take eight (8) 4 oz. packages or four (4) 8 oz. packages to equal 2 pounds (32 oz.).

One 8 oz. package would be 1/2-pound (1/2 lb.). Four packages would be 2 lbs.

8x4=32 ounces. 16x2=32 ounces

There may be other size packages of cream cheese, so divide into 16 the number of ounces contained in the package. The resulting answer will be how many packages you need to equal one pound. If you need two pounds, divide the number of ounces in the package into 32. The answer will be how many packages of cream cheese you need to equal 2 pounds.
