These days it is easier to convert to ounces, do the division and convert back to pounds and ounces: 1 lb = 16 oz → 8 lb 3 oz ÷ 3 = (8 × 16) + 3 oz / 3 = 131 oz ÷ 3 = 43⅔ oz = (2 × 16) + 11⅔ oz = 2 lb 11⅔ oz Alternatively, you can do the division as it stands, but convert fractions of pounds to ounces: 8 lb 3 oz ÷ 3 = 8 ÷ 3 lb 3 ÷ 3 oz = 2⅔ lb 1 oz = 2 lb ⅔ lb 1 oz = 2 lb ⅔ × 16 + 1 oz = 2 lb 11⅔ oz
1 lb = 16oz so 11 lb 3 oz = 16*11 +3 oz = 176+3 = 179 oz
3 lb X 16 oz/lb = 48 oz 50 oz is bigger. if converted to kg the differene also can be seen: 3lbs= 1.36kg 50oz= 1.42kg
140 oz is less than 9 lb To find out the answer divide 140 by 16 the amount of ounces in a pound 140/ 16 =8lbs 3/4 oz
It is 147 oz.
50 oz is greater.
1 lb = 16 oz 2 lb = 32 oz 3 lb = 48 oz I think 50 oz is more than that.
Convert to the same units then the comparison can be made: 16 oz = 1 lb → 50 oz = 50 ÷ 16 lb = 3 1/8 lb So 50 oz is greater than any weight less than 3 1/8 lb (eg 3 lb), 50 oz is equal to 3 1/8 lb, and 50 oz is less than any weight greater than 3 1/8 lb (eg 4 lb)
If you assume that 5o oz is meant to be 50 oz, then it is larger. Otherwise, the answer depends on the value of o.
Note that 1 lb = 16 oz. Then, 3 lb = 48 oz, which is not greater than 50 oz.
There are 16 oz in 1 lb SO ...48 ÷ 16 = 3 OR 3 lb = 48 oz !!!
Remember, 1 lb is 16oz. 3 lb is 54 oz. 54 oz. is greater than 20 oz. The answer is 3 lb
16 + 16 + 16 = 48 so yes 3 lb is less and 50 oz is 2 oz more
50 Pounds = 320 Ounces
less since 3 lb = 48 oz
3
There are 16 oz to 1 lb. Therefore: 50 ÷16 = 3.125 lb.
