Answer:

1. considering that there are 16 ounces in one pound, and the question is asking for one pound, I would think that there would only need to be 16 ounces observed.

2. Through calculations of the given number of oz, there are 71 calories per oz. By multiplying that by 16 (the number of oz in a lb) there are a total of 1,136 calories in a lb.
