Answer :
"The correct answer is B) 7.25 pounds. There are 7.25 pounds in 116 ounces.
To find out how many pounds are in 116 ounces, we use the conversion factor that 1 pound equals 16 ounces. We divide the total number of ounces by the number of ounces in a pound:
[tex]\[ \text{Total pounds} = \frac{\text{Total ounces}}{\text{Ounces per pound}} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total pounds} = \frac{116 \text{ ounces}}{16 \text{ ounces/pound}} \][/tex]
Now, we perform the division:
[tex]\[ \text{Total pounds} = \frac{116}{16} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total pounds} = 7.25 \][/tex]
So, there are 7.25 pounds in 116 ounces."
