A pig weighs 9.8 pounds. Convert the pigs weight to ounces

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: 156.8 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that the weight of a pig = 9.8 pounds

Since , we know that 1 pound = 16 ounces

Therefore, to convert 9.8 pounds to ounces , we need to multiply it with 16, we get,

\text{ 9.8 pounds}=9.8*16\n\n\Rightarrow\text{ 9.8 pounds}=156.8\text{ ounces}

Hence, the weight of pig = 156.8 ounces
Answer 2
Answer:

The pig's weight is 156.8 ounces.

Further Explanation

Given:

A pig's weight is 9.8 pounds

Convert this pig's weight to ounces!

Let's say the pig's weight in ounces is in variable x, so :

\boxed { 1 pounds = 16 ounces }\n\boxed {(16 ounces)/(1 pounds) = (x ounces)/( 9.8 pounds) } \n \boxed {x=(16 ounces *\ 9.8 pounds)/(1 pounds) } \n  \boxed {x=156.8 ounces }

From the equation above, we can conclude that in converting unit of measurement, we can use this three steps:

  • write the conversion in fraction
  • multiply
  • cancel any unit that are both top and bottom

Multiplying decimal numbers is the same way as the whole numbers except, you have to remember where to put the decimal point. Here is the explanation using the standard algorithm method:

 9.8           ⇒ has 1 decimal point

   16   x     ⇒ has 0 decimal point

588

98   +

156.8          ⇒ has 1 decimal point
