Question 1156987: ) A truck filled with chocolate chips (41,000 lbs.) skidded 100 yards and flipped over spilling all the
chips onto the highway (Syracuse.com June 27, 2012). Twelve ounces (oz.) of chocolate chips

In terms of just units:
[ pounds of chips ] x [ ounces / pound ] x [ dozens of cookies / ounces of chips ] x [ cookies / dozen ]
= [ [ number of cookies ]
--------------------------------------
+41000%2A%28+16+%2F+1+%29%2A%28+5+%2F+12+%29%2A%28+12+%2F+1+%29+=+41000%2A5%2A16+
+41000%2A5%2A16+=+3280000+
3,280,000 cookies
