Question

Given that 1 pound = 16 ounces, convert 48 ounces to pounds.

Answer 1

3 pounds

Explanation:

You know that 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces.

1 pound = 16 ounces

Now we need to find how much pounds is for 48 ounces. To get from 16 to 48 we need to multiply by 3. When we multiply on one side of the equation we need to do the same to the other side.

1 × 3 pound = 16 × 3 ounces

3 pounds = 48 ounces
