Answer 1

To convert \( \frac{6}{14} \) pounds to ounces, we can use the conversion factor that 1 pound equals 16 ounces.

First, simplify \( \frac{6}{14} \):

\[
\frac{6}{14} = \frac{3}{7}
\]

Next, convert \( \frac{3}{7} \) pounds to ounces:

\[
\frac{3}{7} \text{ pounds} \times 16 \text{ ounces/pound} = \frac{3 \times 16}{7} \text{ ounces} = \frac{48}{7} \text{ ounces}
\]

Calculating \( \frac{48}{7} \):

\[
\frac{48}{7} \approx 6.8571 \text{ ounces}
\]

To express this as a proper fraction, we keep it as \( \frac{48}{7} \) ounces.

Now, we check the given options:

- 25/64 ounces
- 100 ounces
- 125 ounces
- 1,250 ounces

None of the options directly match \( \frac{48}{7} \) ounces. However, the closest proper action is leaving the answer as \( \frac{48}{7} \) ounces which is approximately 6.8571 ounces.

If you need to report your answer in a simpler form or as a decimal:

\[
\frac{48}{7} \text{ ounces} \approx 6.8571 \text{ ounces}
\]

So the final answer \( \frac{48}{7} \) ounces or approximately \( 6.8571 \) ounces doesn't match any given options, hence there seems to be an inconsistency with the options provided. If required to choose from the options, none are correct based on the calculation.

The complete calculation shows that \( \frac{6}{14} \) pounds is equal to \( \frac{48}{7} \) ounces.
