Answer:


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}
