what is 3 1/4 pounds in ounces?

Answer 1

Hi Christine!

To convert pounds to ounces, we can use the fact that 1 pound = 16 ounces. So since each pound is 16 ounces, we should multiply the number of pounds by 16 to figure out the number of ounces. We can convert 3 1/4 into an improper fraction to simplify the multiplication:

3 1/4 * 16 = 13/4 * 16 = 52

So 3 1/4 pounds is equal to 52 ounces.
