Question

Angel repairs furniture. He expects to use 48 oz of wood filler this month. There are 16 oz in 1 lb

Answer 1

I suppose that you want to know how many pounds he expects to use.

He expects to use 48 oz.

We know that:

1lb = 16oz

then:

1 = (1lb/16 oz)

If we multiply any number by one, the number does not change, then:

48 oz = 48 oz*1 = 48 oz*( 1lb/16 oz) = (48oz/16oz)*1lb = 3 lb
