Answer 1

The fish has a weigh in pounds of

`3(1)/(4)`

This can also be represented as 3.25 pounds.

To convert this quantity to ounces, we need to remember the relationship between pounds and ounces:

`1\text{ pound = 16 ounces}`

To convert from pounds to ounces, we multiply the quantity by 16.

Thus, 3.25 pounds converted to ounces is:

`3.25*16`

Which is equal to:

`3.25*16=52`

52 ounces.

Answer: 52
