Answer:

Divide, 16.

Explanation:

So, lets look at the unit scale.

For every 16 ounces, there are 1 pound.

To convert ounces to pounds, the number must be divide by 16, since there are 16 ounces in one pound.

The first fill in box answer is division.

Next we must ifnd the actual amount of pounds.

We know that the box weights 96 ounces.

Now lets divide this by ounces per pound, and see what we get:

96/16

=

6

So the box weighs 6 pounds.

This is the answer to the second fill in question.

Hope this helps!
