Question

which of the following is equivalent to 92 1/2 pounds? A 1,472 oz B 1,480 oz C 1,479 oz December 1,488 oz

Answer 1

The answer would be B) 1480 Remember there are 16oz in 1 pound so you would simpily do 92.5 times 16 to get 1,480 ounces

Answer 2

1 pound is equivalent to 16 oz.

Ratio of pounds to ounces: $\frac{1}{16}$

$\frac{1}{16} = \frac{92 1/2}{x}$

(note that * is the equivalent of multiplication)

I have drawn and attached a picture to help you understand better.
$x = \frac{92 1/2 * 16}{1} = 1,480$

So  you answer is B. 1480
