Question

How many ounces are in 10 1/2 pounds?1 pound = 16 ounces

Answer 1

hello

to solve this question, we simply need to equate this

`\begin{gathered} 1\text{pound}=16\text{ounces} \\ 10(1)/(2)=x\text{ ounces} \\ \text{cross multiply both sides } \\ x*1=10.5*16 \\ x=168\text{ounces} \end{gathered}`

from the calculation above, 10.5 pounds would be equal to 168 ounces
