What is the value of 2G in ounces and pounds?

1) 128 oz and 8 lbs
2) 256 oz and 16 lbs
3) 512 oz and 32 lbs
4) 1024 oz and 64 lbs

Answer :

Final answer:

The value of 2G in ounces and pounds, where 'G' is assumed to represent 8, is 256 ounces and 16 pounds; hence, option 2) 256 oz and 16 lbs is the correct answer. The calculation involves multiplying the given weight in pounds by 16 to convert to ounces.

Explanation:

Converting pounds to ounces

To find the value of 2G in ounces and pounds, we need to understand the relationship between pounds and ounces. The conversion factor is: 1 pound = 16 ounces. Using this, we can convert any weight in pounds to ounces by multiplying the number of pounds by 16.

Now, to convert 2G (where G represents an unknown multiplier) into ounces and pounds, we need to follow these steps:

  1. First, understand that the question seems to contain a typographical error with '2G'; let's assume that 'G' is a placeholder for a number that we need to find. Here's how you convert it once the number is known:
  2. Find the unit equivalence which is 1 pound = 16 ounces.
  3. Multiply the given number of pounds (G pounds) by 16 to convert it to ounces.
  4. If G is, for instance, 8, then we have: 8 pounds x 16 ounces/pound = 128 ounces. Thus, 2G if 'G' equals 8 would be 2 x 8 pounds = 16 pounds nad 2 x 128 ounces = 256 ounces.

If we apply this to the provided choices, we can conclude that option 2) 256 oz and 16 lbs is the correct conversion of 2G, assuming 'G' equals 8. It seems like the question intended to test the concept of doubling a given unit conversion, which has been misplaced as '2G'.
