To complete the table, we need to understand the relationship between ounces and pounds. There are 16 ounces in a pound.
Let's break it down row by row:
-
For the first row where we have 32 ounces, we can convert it to pounds: \[ 32 \text{ ounces} = \frac{32}{16} = 2 \text{ pounds} \] (This confirms the first entry in the pounds row.)
-
The next quantity we need is one of the missing values in the ounces row. If we look at the pounds row closely, we know:
- 2 pounds = 32 ounces
- 6 pounds = 6 * 16 = 96 ounces
- 7 pounds = 7 * 16 = 112 ounces
Therefore:
- The 1st missing value is 96 ounces (for 6 pounds).
- The 2nd missing value is 112 ounces (for 7 pounds).
-
Now we find two more pounds for 144 ounces and 160 ounces:
- 144 ounces = \(\frac{144}{16} = 9\) pounds
- 160 ounces = \(\frac{160}{16} = 10\) pounds
Now we can complete the table:
| ounces | 32 | 96 | 112 | 144 | 160 | |--------|----|----|-----|-----|-----| | pounds | 2 | 6 | 7 | 9 | 10 |
So, the completed table is as follows:
| ounces | 32 | 96 | 112 | 144 | 160 | |--------|----|----|-----|-----|-----| | pounds | 2 | 6 | 7 | 9 | 10 |
