John's dog weighted 7 pounds when we got him. The dog's weight tripled each year for two years. How many ounces does John's dog now weigh?

7 pounds x 3(tripled) = 21 pounds

If the dog weighed 7 pounds at first then its times 3 for each year for 2 years.
7*3*3=63 pounds and converting pounds to ounces, 63 pounds is 1,008 ounces.
