What is Unit conversion?

Unit conversion is a way of converting some common units into another without changing their real value. for, example, 1 centimetre is equal to 10 mm, though the real measurement is still the same the units and numerical values have been changed.

Given 92 1/2 pounds, this can be written as a fraction as shown below,

92 1/2 pounds

= [(92×2) + 1]/2

= (184 + 1)/2

= 185 / 2

Now, since 1 pound is equal to 16 oz, therefore, we can write,

1 pound = 16 oz

Further, the value of 92 1/2 pounds in terms of ounces can be written as,

185/2 pounds = (185/2) × 16 ounces

                       = 185 × 8 ounces

                       = 1,480 ounces

Hence, the value is equivalent to 92 1/2 pounds to 1,480 ounces.
