Question

How do I show work for this question

Answer 1

There are 16 ounces in a pound. To show your work, you need to divide 96 by 16. Then work the problem from there, showing your work. 96 divided by 16 is 6.

Answer 2

96 oz = 6 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Both units are a measure of mass. So the question expect you to derive what many pounds has the same value as 96 ounce.

But,

1 oz = 0.0625 lb

Let the value in pounds be represented by x, therefore;

96 oz = x lb

So that,

x = (0.0625 lb × 96 oz) ÷ 1 oz

x = 6 lb

Therefore, 96 ounces is the same as 6 pounds.
