Question

How many ounces in \[0.2\] lbs?

Answer 1

Hint: In the given question, we have been asked how many ounces there are in two-tenths of a pound. To solve this question, we are first going to convert a single standard unit to both of these measurements. Then we are just going to divide the two by making the given adjustments.

Complete step by step answer:
We are going to convert kilograms to ounces and pounds.
\[1kg = 2.2lb\]
\[1kg = 35.2oz\]
This means \[2.2lb = 35.2oz\], or,
\[1lb = 16oz\]
Hence, \[0.2lb = 0.2 \times 16 = 3.2oz\]

Thus, there are \[3.2\] ounces in \[0.2\] pounds.

Note: In the given question, we had to convert ounces to pounds. We did that by writing the conversion factor of the two units in the form of one standard unit and then did some operations to get the relation between them. We need to know that the units ‘ounces’ and ‘pounds’ are not metric units, so they cannot be converted to other such units by multiplying them with the power of ten. They are imperial units and so, we need to pay attention and specifically remember the conversion value so that we can convert it to other units and not get stuck.
