Mrs. Torres is mailing a package that weighs 12. 5 pounds. The post office charges by the ounce to mail a package. How much does the package weigh in ounces?.

Respuesta :

Then answer would be 200 ounces. To solve that you would set up your formula 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces. So you know how many pounds you have but not how many ounces. So using the same formula replace the pounds value with 12.5. After doing that look at the 1 pound to 12.5 pounds. How much do you multiply? You multiply 12.5. So to keep it equal you would multiply 16 with 12.5 which is 200 ounces.

Hope this helps!
