Answer:

Whether her conversion is correct or not, you can just base it on the true answer. For this problem, we apply the technique of dimensional analysis. You can like units if they both appear on the numerator and the denominator side. The solution is as follows:

Mass in ounces = 3 kg * (1,000 g/ 1 kg) * (1 ounce/28.35 g) = 105.82 ounces
