Given:

The restaurant already has 448 ounces

And then buys 20 pounds

The next step is to ensure that they are both in the same units

To do this we will have to convert pounds to ounces

The conversion rate is given by

1 pound = 16 ounces

So we will have to convert 20 pounds to ounces

20 pounds = 16 x 20 ounces = 320 ounces

Then we can add 320 ounces to the initial 448 ounces

The correct option is 768 ounces which correspond to option A
