Question

How many ounces are in 2 1/4 pounds?

Answer 1

36 ounces.
1 pound= 16 ounces
1/4 pound= 4 ounces
16+16=32
32+4=36
36

Answer 2

36 ounces

Explanation:

1 lb = 16oz

So just multiply 2 lb by 16 to get 32.

Then you can multiply 16 by 0.25 (a.k.a 1/4) OR divide 16 by 4

You get 4 ounces

Finally, add 32 and 4 to get your total of 36 ounces.
