The fish has a weigh in pounds of


3(1)/(4)

This can also be represented as 3.25 pounds.

To convert this quantity to ounces, we need to remember the relationship between pounds and ounces:


1\text{ pound = 16 ounces}

To convert from pounds to ounces, we multiply the quantity by 16.

Thus, 3.25 pounds converted to ounces is:


3.25*16

Which is equal to:


3.25*16=52

52 ounces.

Answer: 52
