Answer: 80 ounces
Step-by-step explanation: <em>lbs</em> is the abbreviation for pounds and <em>oz</em> is the abbreviation for ounces.
To convert 5.5 pounds into ounces, first find the conversion factor for pounds and ounces which is shown below.
<em>16 ounces = 1 pound</em>
Next, notice that we're going from a larger unit, pounds, to a smaller unit, ounces. When we go from a larger unit to a smaller unit we multiply.
So here, we multiply 5.5 pounds times the conversion factor, 16 to get 88 ounces. This means that 5.5 pounds is equal to 88 ounces.
