160 oz in 10 pounds. You will have to multiply 10 and 16. You take the number of pounds and multiply it by 16 because 1:16 is the pound:oz ratio.

160oz. This is because, knowing that there are 16oz in one pound, you can multiply 16 by how many pounds you have to get the oz measurement. In this problem, we multiplied 16 by 10, getting 160oz.
