Answer :
Answer:
His weight is 8 pounds 9 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you need to know if you are converting from a smaller unit of measurement to a bigger unit of measurement OR if you are converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit.
→ RULE
- When converting from smaller units to bigger units of measurement, you need to divide.
- When converting from larger units to smaller units of measurement, you need to multiply.
Ounces are smaller than pounds, so you need to divide.
To convert 137 ounces to pounds, you would divide 137 ounces by 16 ounces, since 1 pound equals 16 ounces.
1 pound = 16 ounces
137 ÷ 16 = 8 R 9 (long division)
The quotient (8) is the number of pounds and the remainder (9) is the number of ounces.
8 R9 → 8 pounds 9 ounces
137oz = 8 pounds 9 ounces
→ Alana's baby bother weighted 8 pounds 9 ounces.
(^ the question asks for an answer in pounds AND ounces)
