Respuesta :
16 ounces = 1 pound
>> 1 ounce = (1/16) pound
>> 152 ounce = (1/16)x152 pound
>> 152 ounce = 9.5 pound
So the final answer is 9.5 pound
>> 1 ounce = (1/16) pound
>> 152 ounce = (1/16)x152 pound
>> 152 ounce = 9.5 pound
So the final answer is 9.5 pound
First make a comparison
pound : ounce = 1 : 16
pound : ounce = x : 152
The ratio
x : 152 = 1 : 16
x/152 = 1/16
Second, find x with the help of the ratio
x/152 = 1/16
move 152 to the right side, it become multiplication
x = 1/16 × 152
x = 152/16
x = 9.5
Hence, 152 ounces is 9.5 pounds
pound : ounce = 1 : 16
pound : ounce = x : 152
The ratio
x : 152 = 1 : 16
x/152 = 1/16
Second, find x with the help of the ratio
x/152 = 1/16
move 152 to the right side, it become multiplication
x = 1/16 × 152
x = 152/16
x = 9.5
Hence, 152 ounces is 9.5 pounds
