For this question, you can solve by using the <em>Cross Multiplication</em> method.
(Pounds = lb, Ounces = oz)
35<em>oz</em>/X<em>lb</em> = 16<em>oz</em>/1<em>lb</em>
Solve for x. First cross multiply 35<em>oz</em> by 1<em>lb </em>to get 35<em>oz</em>/<em>lb</em>. Then divide by 16<em>oz</em> to cancel out <em>oz</em> and end up with 2.1875<em>lb</em>. Which rounds up to 2.19<em>lb</em>.
35<em>oz</em> * 1<em>lb</em> ÷ 16<em>oz</em> = 2.19<em>lb</em>
The Answer is A.) 2.19 pounds
