Which proportion would convert 18 ounces into pounds?
Responses
A 16ozxlb
= 1lb18oz
16 oz x lb = 1 lb 18 oz
B 16oz1lb
= 18ozxlb
16 oz 1 lb = 18 oz x lb
C 16ozxlb
= 18oz1lb
16 oz x lb = 18 oz 1 lb
D 1ozx1b
= 18oz16lb
1 oz x 1 b = 18 oz 16 lb
E 16oz1lb
= xlb18oz
Option C: 16oz x lb = 18oz 1 lb
18 oz * (1 lb / 16 oz) = 1.125 lb
in other words 16 oz / lb = 1 or 1 lb / 16 oz = 1
Yes, that is correct. So the proportion that would convert 18 ounces into pounds is 16 oz x lb = 18 oz 1 lb.
Lordy me, 1 pound two ounces
or one and one eighth pounds !
Yes, that's correct! 18 ounces is equivalent to 1 pound and 2 ounces or 1.125 pounds or 1 and 1/8 pounds.
To convert 18 ounces into pounds, you can use the proportion:
16 oz : 1 lb = 18 oz : x lb
In this proportion, the unknown quantity is the value of x, which represents the number of pounds equivalent to 18 ounces. By cross-multiplying, we get:
16 oz * x lb = 18 oz * 1 lb
Simplifying further, we have:
16x = 18
Now, we can solve for x:
x = 18 / 16
This gives us:
x = 1.125 lb
Therefore, the correct proportion to convert 18 ounces into pounds is:
16 oz : 1 lb = 18 oz : 1.125 lb
To convert 18 ounces into pounds, we need to set up a proportion between ounces and pounds.
The correct proportion would be:
16 oz : 1 lb = 18 oz : x lb
In this proportion, we set up the known equivalent relationship: 16 ounces is equivalent to 1 pound.
To find the value of x (the unknown number of pounds that is equivalent to 18 ounces), we can use the cross-multiplication method.
Cross-multiplying the proportion, we have:
16 oz * x lb = 1 lb * 18 oz
Therefore, the correct answer is Option C:
16 oz x lb = 18 oz 1 lb
