To convert ounces to pounds, you can use the fact that there are 16 ounces in 1 pound.
To convert 20 ounces to pounds, divide the number of ounces by the number of ounces per pound:
\[ 20 \text{ ounces} \div 16 \text{ ounces/pound} = \frac{20}{16} \text{ pounds} \]
Now, simplify the fraction:
\[ \frac{20}{16} = \frac{5}{4} \]
This can also be written as a mixed number. Since \( \frac{5}{4} = 1 \frac{1}{4} \):
So, 20 ounces of almonds is equal to \( 1 \frac{1}{4} \) pounds.
