Answer:

56 ounces

Explanation:

16 ounces = 1 pound

There are 3.5 pounds so 16 x 3 = 48

Then, the other .5 of the pound would be 16/2 or 8.

48 + 8 + 56

Answer:

56

Explanation:

16x3=48

Half of 16 is 8.

Since there is 3 1/2 pounds

You would add the 8 and 48.

48 from the 3 pounds and 8 ounces for 1/2 a pound.

Hence, the answer is 56.

48+8=56
