Question
16 ounces in a pound. Choose the best estimate of the number of ounces a 97 pound dog weighs?
- 160
- 900
- 1,600
- 9,000
Hint:
To solve this question we need to understand that 1 pound = 16 ounches, and 1 ounces= 0.0625 pound . To find the 97 pound in number of ounches , first estimate that value and just multiply by 16. Then the calculated value is our answer.
The correct answer is: 1,600
Here we need to find the number of ounches of a best estimate of 97 pound dog weight.
Firstly, we need to take the best estimate value of 97 pound,
Best estimate of 97 pound is 100 pound , because the it is more accurate and round value.
Now, we need to find out the number of ounches :
We know,
1pound= 16 ounches
100 pound= (16x 100 ) ounches
100 pound = 1600 ounches
Therefore, the number of ounches is 1600.
The correct answer is 1600 (option B).
Always remember the 1 pound= 16 ounches and if they ask any pound in ounches in any other question just do multiply by 16 and remember the answer will be in ounches.
