Explain how you find the answer to how much is 3.5 pounds written as a combination of whole pounds and whole ounces?

Answer 1

3.5 pound = 3 5/10 pounds = 3 1/2 pounds

Now, 1 pound = 16 ounces, so 1/2 pound = 16*1/2 = 8 oz

So the answer is 3 pounds and 8 oz.

Answer 2

To convert 3.5 pounds to a combination of whole pounds and whole ounces, first, realize that 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces. Next, we know that 3 pounds is equal to 48 ounces. Hence, 3.5 pounds is equivalent to 3 pounds and 8 ounces, since 0.5 pounds is half of a pound, which is 8 ounces. Thus, 3.5 pounds can be written as 3 pounds and 8 ounces.
