Question

Deon caught a 3 1/4 pound fish. how much did it weigh in ounce? write in either a whole number or mixed number in the simplest form

Answer 1

`52\text{ ounces}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the weight of the fish in ounces

Mathematically, we have it that:

`1\text{ pound = 16 ounces}`

Thus, what we have to do here is to multiply the pound weight by 16

We have that as:

`\begin{gathered} 3(1)/(4)\text{ }*\text{ 16} \\ =\text{ }(13)/(4)*\text{ 16 = 52 ounces } \end{gathered}`
