QUESTION 1
A metric ton id 35273,92 ounces.Write a program that will read the weight of package of breakfast cereal in ounces and output the weight in metric tons as well as the number of boxes needed to yield
1 metric yon of cereal.Your program should allow the user to repeat this calculation as often as the user wishes.

ANSWER

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{
  const double conversionFactor = 35273.92;
  double weightInOunces = 0.0;
  double weightInMetricTons = 0.0;
  double weightInUpToNow = 0.0;
  int counter = 0;
  char userInput;

do{

  cout <<"Please enter the weight of o box of cereal in ounces: ";
  cin >> weightInOunces;
  weightInMetricTons = weightInOunces / conversionFactor;

while( weightInUpToNow <1 )

{
   weightInUpToNow += weightInMetricTons;
   counter = counter+ 1;
}
  cout <<  "The number of boxes you need is ";
  cout << counter;
  cout << "to have one metric ton of cereal." << endl;
  counter = 0;
  weightInUpToNow = 0.0;
  cout << "Do you want to start again(y/n)?";
  cin >> userInput;

}
while (userInput == 'y' || userInput == 'Y');
return 0;

}
