Answer:
0.4752 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
first, we can convert inches to feet to make the conversion easier as everything will be in one unit
12 inches = 1 foot
divide both sides by 12 inches to put the inches on the bottom so that when we multiply by 18 inches, the inches unit is crossed out
1 foot/ 12 inches = 1
18 inches * 1 foot / 12 inches = 18 inches * 1 = 18 feet/12 = 1.5 feet
1000 feet = 19.8 pounds
1.5 feet = ? ounces
we can find that 1000 * (1.5/1000) = 1.5 as the 1000s are crossed out and 1.5 remains. By multiplying both sides of the equation by (1.5/1000), we can find what the ? means as we can set the two equations equal to each other, like so:
1000 feet * (1.5/1000) = 19.8 * (1.5/1000)
1.5 feet = 0.0297 pounds
1.5 feet = ? ounces
0.0297 pounds = ? ounces
1 pound = 16 ounces
make sure pounds are at the bottom so we can cross them out
16 ounces / 1 pound = 1
0.0297 pounds * 16 ounces / 1 pound = 0.4752 ounces
