Final answer:

To convert Jesse's dog Angel's weight in pounds to ounces, we can multiply the weight in pounds by 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert pounds to ounces, we need to multiply the weight in pounds by 16. Since Angel weighs 18 1/2 pounds, we'll first convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. 18 1/2 is equal to 37/2. Now, multiply 37/2 by 16 to get the weight in ounces. 37/2 * 16 = 296 ounces. Therefore, Angel weighs 296 ounces.

if each pond contains 16 ounces, then half a pound contains 8 ounces so
if 18 times 16 =288 ounces, and 1/2 of a bound is 8 ounces, add them up to 296 and theres your awnser!!! Tell me if it helped at all?
