D) 0.46 pounds

Answer 1

For this question, you can solve by using the Cross Multiplication method.

(Pounds = lb, Ounces = oz)

35oz/Xlb = 16oz/1lb

Solve for x. First cross multiply 35oz by 1lb to get 35oz/lb. Then divide by 16oz to cancel out oz and end up with 2.1875lb. Which rounds up to 2.19lb.

35oz * 1lb ÷ 16oz = 2.19lb

The Answer is A.) 2.19 pounds
