Question

There are $8$ ounces in a $\,h$ pound. How many ounces are in $7\,\,3/4$lbs?

Answer 1

Hint: We will start off by explaining the terms ounce and pound. Then we will be mentioning the steps to solve such types of questions. Then mention the different conversions to convert. Also, we will mention some other rules as well.

Complete step-by-step solution:
We will start off by mentioning the terms ounce and pound. So, an ounce is a unit of weight of one sixteenth of a pound which is approximately $28$ grams and a pound is a unit of weight equal to $16$ oz which is $0.4536$kg or $12$ oz which is $0.3732$kg.

So now we know that $8$ ounces is equal to half a pound and $16$ ounces are equal to $1$ pound. Now we need to determine the number of ounces in $7\,\,3/4$lbs.
So,
$
   = 16 \times 7.75 \\
   = 124 \\
 $

Additional Information: Expression is a mathematical sentence which has numbers, variables, and operations and there is no equal sign. Simplify means to break down an expression to its simplest forms. Variable is a number that we don’t know, or which can change. Algebraic expressions are useful because they represent the value of an expression for all of the values a variable can take on. Sometimes in math, we describe an expression with a phrase. When we describe an expression in words that includes a variable, we are describing an algebraic expression, an expression with a variable.

Note: While converting orders do not matter for addition and multiplication. But order is important for subtraction and division. Make sure that you read the statement twice before translating it to an expression. Pay extra attention to the statements where multiplication and division is involved.
