Answer 1

To convert the weight of the suitcase from ounces to pounds, you can use the ratio that 16 ounces equals 1 pound.

Here's the calculation:

1. Weight of suitcase in ounces: 176 ounces

2. Convert ounces to pounds:

   \[ \text{Weight in pounds} = \frac{\text{Weight in ounces}}{16} \]

   \[ \text{Weight in pounds} = \frac{176 \text{ ounces}}{16} = 11 \text{ pounds} \]

So, a suitcase weighing 176 ounces is 11 pounds.
