Final answer:

There are 3008 calories in 2 pounds of the ice cream, calculated by first determining the calories per ounce (94) and then multiplying by the number of ounces in 2 pounds (32).

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the amount of calories in 2 pounds of ice cream, we first need to establish the relationship between ounces and pounds. There are 16 ounces in 1 pound, so 2 pounds are equivalent to 32 ounces. If 8 ounces of a certain ice cream contain 752 calories, to find the calories in 32 ounces, we multiply the calories in 8 ounces by 4 (since 32 is four times 8).

So, the calculation would be:

752 calories/8 ounces = 94 calories/ounce
94 calories/ounce × 32 ounces = 3008 calories

Therefore, there are 3008 calories in 2 pounds of that ice cream.

So, 8 ounces is equivalent to .5 pounds. Therefore, 32 ounces is equivalent to 2 pounds. Or, there are 4 8ounce measurements to get to 2 pounds.

752 calories * 4 = 3008 calories in 2 pounds of ice cream.
