I don't understand what I'm supposed to do here. I have a test on this tomorrow so if you explain how to do it that would be great.

Here is a little tip for this: The unit above cancels the unit below. So in this problem you are asked to convert pounds to ounce. So your equation will look like this.

ounce = 2.93 pounds
( (16 ounces)/(1 pounds) ) = 46.88
Your ratio should involve the conversion factor. So 16 and 1 is involved canceling A and D. Then, Notice that you started with poubls. Then the ratio must have pounds at the bottom to cancel the units leaving ounces.
