Ratios & Proportions:
If 1 pound equals 16 ounces, how many
ounces would be in 5 pounds?

Well, let’s do some quick math! If 1 pound equals 16 ounces, then to find out how many ounces are in 5 pounds, you simply multiply: 5 pounds x 16 ounces/pound = 80 ounces. So, there you have it—5 pounds amounts to a whopping 80 ounces!

Now, here’s a fun tip: ratios can help you in cooking too! If a recipe calls for 2 pounds of flour but you only have a scale for ounces, you can use the same multiplication method to convert it easily. Just remember: always ensure your measurements are aligned for the best results!
