In mathematical writing: x(12 ounces)= 1 pound. 1 pound = 16 ounces, so use substitution: x(12 ounces)=16 ounces. Forget the word "ounces" and write it again: 12x=16. Divide by 12 on both sides to obtain x=16/12=4/3= 1 and 1/3. The answer is this: You would need 1 and 1/3 aluminum cans to make 1 pound.
