When converting 10 pounds to ounces, you would place "pounds" in the numerator of the ratio. This is because you want to express the number of ounces per pound. Since there are 16 ounces in 1 pound, the conversion would involve multiplying 10 pounds by the conversion factor of 16 ounces per pound, resulting in 160 ounces.
To convert ounces to pounds, you would place 16 ounces (which is equal to 1 pound) in the denominator of your ratio. This is because there are 16 ounces in one pound, so when you divide the number of ounces by 16, you get the equivalent amount in pounds.
Either one, but make sure that both sides of the equation have the pounds on top or both sides have the pounds on bottom. 84/x = 16/1 (84 ounces over x pounds is equal to 16 ounces over 1 pound) 16x = 84 x = 84/16 x = 5.25 pounds or x/84 = 1/16 (x pounds over 84 ounces is equal to 1 pound over 16 ounces) 84 = 16x x= 84/16 x = 5.25 pounds
To convert 7.5 pounds to ounces, you would use a ratio with pounds in the denominator to cancel out the pounds unit. Since 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces, you would use 16 ounces in the denominator of your ratio in its plural form. Thus, the conversion would be 7.5 pounds x 16 ounces/1 pound = 120 ounces.
When converting one unit to another, you should place the conversion factor in the numerator that corresponds to the unit you want to convert to. This ensures that the units cancel out correctly, leaving you with the desired unit. For example, if you are converting inches to centimeters, you would use a conversion factor that has centimeters in the numerator and inches in the denominator. This method maintains the integrity of the measurement while allowing for accurate conversion.
In converting 54 cm to inches, you would place the unit "inches" in the numerator of the ratio. Since there are 2.54 cm in 1 inch, the ratio would be written as 1 inch/2.54 cm.
