For this case we must find the number of ounces that there are in 12.4 pounds, if we have as data that 16 ounces represent 1 pound, then we can make a rule of three of the form:

16 ounces -----------> 1 pound

x ----------------------> 12.4 pounds

Where "x" represents the number of ounces in 12.4 pounds. So, we have:


x = (12.4 * 16)/(1)\\x = 198.4\ ounces

So, in 12.4 pounds there are 198.4 ounces

Answer:

198.4 ounces
