Question

Jay buys


pounds of lunch
meat at the grocery store. How many ounces of lunch meat is Jay buying?

(16 ounces = 1 pound)

Answer 1

Each pound is 16 ounces, so multiply pounds × 16.
If Jay buys x pounds, he is buying 16x ounces.
Example: 3 pounds → 3 × 16 = 48 ounces.

If you give the actual number of pounds, I’ll compute the ounces.
