Answer 1

A. 3.75 pounds

Explanation:

16 ounces = 1 pound

converting 60 ounces to pounds

Let x = number of pounds

60 ounces = x pounds

Find the proportion

16 / 1 = 60 / x

Cross product

16 * x = 1 * 60

16x = 60

Divide both sides by 16

x = 60/16

x = 3.75

Therefore,

60 ounces = 3.75 pounds
