Answer 1

To find out how many ounces are in 6 pounds, multiply 6 by 16, which equals 96 ounces. Therefore, choice (c) 96 ounces is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking to convert from pounds to ounces. Since there are 16 ounces in one pound, you simply need to multiply the number of pounds by 16 to find out how many ounces there are in 6 pounds.
