Question

A local store has a puppy that weighs 56 ounces. How many pounds does the puppy weigh, given that 1 pound = 16 ounces? (Input only the numeric values and decimal points, such as 6.4.)

Answer 1

We know that the puppy weights 56 ounces and it tells us that 1 pound = 16 ounces so every 16 ounces we have a pound. It wants to know how many pounds does the puppy weights. 56 / 16 = number of pounds. So 56 divided by 16 = pounds. The puppy weights 3.5 pounds

Answer 2

The puppy weighs 56/16 or three and a half lbs 3.5 lbs
