Given the measurement:
3 pounds
50 ounces
Determine which one is greater.
Solution:
In order to determine which measurement is greater, we must first convert 50 ounces to pounds. This can be done by using the general conversion method.
1 pound = 16 ounces
= (50 ounces)(1 pound/16 ounces)
The unit ounces cancel.
= 50 pound/16
= 3.125 pound
Final answer:
50 ounces is greater than 3 pounds
