Question

How many ounces are there in $2$ pounds?

Answer 1

Hint: For converting the pounds to ounces we need a relation between them. As we know that the conversion factor, and as we know that the one pounds are equal to sixteen times of ounces. Hence, by using this we will be able to get the required converted value in ounces.

Complete step by step solution:
So we have the values of pounds given as $2$ and we have to convert this into the number of ounces. So from the hint, we know that
\[\Rightarrow 1\,pounds=16\,ounces\] , and we will name this equation $1$ .
So we have to find the number of ounces in $2$ pounds. So for this, by using the unitary method we will get the expression as
\[\Rightarrow 2\,pounds=16\times 2\,ounces\]
And on solving the multiplication of the right side, we will get
\[\Rightarrow 2\,pounds=32\,ounces\]

Therefore, there are $32$ ounces in $2$ pounds.

Note: Here in this question we can see that we had used the term pounds and by seeing that we should not equate the equation directly and multiply, it will be wrong. We have to divide at that time. As this is a very important step so be careful.
