Answer 1

How many ounces are in 2 1/2 pounds .( 16 ounces =1 pound )

Convert 2 1/2 to improper fraction 

1 = 2/2

2 1/2 = 5/2

Next, multiply 16 with 5/2

16 x 5 = 80

Divide 80 with 2

80/2 = 40

40 oz is your answer

Answer 2

Since 16 ounces equal 1 pound, we’ll add 16 + 16, which is 32 ounces. For one half of a pound, simply divide the amount of ounces in a pound (16) by half. 16 divided by 2 is 8, so in total your answer would be 40 ounces in 2 1/2 pounds.
