We want "pounds" to disappear, in favor of "ounces."

Thus, multiply 5.5 pounds by (16 oz / 1 pound).  "pounds" cancels, leaving you with "88 oz."

Answer:

A. 16 ounces/1 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that: 1 pound (lb) is equal to 16 Ounces (oz).

Then you have to find a ratio to convert 5.5 pounds to ounces.

If you write: 5.5 pounds, you have to find a ratio that eliminates pounds in order to get ounces:

5.5 pounds*16 ounces/1 pound

In this way pounds in the numerator is eliminated with pounds from the denominator and the result you get is in units of ounces.

5.5 pounds*16 ounces/1 pound=88 ounces
