Convert the following measurement. Round your answer to two decimal places.

64 ounces to pounds

A. 8 lb
B. 10 lb
C. 6 lb
D. 4 lb



Answer :

To convert ounces to pounds, you need to know the conversion factor between these two units. There are 16 ounces in a pound.

Step-by-step solution:

1. Start with the given measurement: 64 ounces.
2. To convert ounces to pounds, divide the number of ounces by the conversion factor (16 ounces per pound).

So, the calculation is:
[tex]\[ \text{Pounds} = \frac{64 \text{ ounces}}{16 \text{ ounces per pound}} \][/tex]

3. Perform the division:
[tex]\[ \text{Pounds} = \frac{64}{16} = 4 \text{ pounds} \][/tex]

4. Finally, round the result to two decimal places. In this case, the result is already a whole number, so rounding to two decimal places still gives us 4.00 pounds.

Thus, the conversion of 64 ounces to pounds, rounded to two decimal places, results in 4.00 pounds.

The correct answer is:
4 lb
