Convert 0.29 pounds to ounces.

  • A. 2.9 ounces
  • B. 4.64 ounces
  • C. 29 ounces
  • D. 46.4 ounces
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert pounds to ounces, you need to know that there are 16 ounces in a pound. Multiplying 0.29 pounds by 16 gives you 4.64 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (2.9 ounces) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the conversion factor of 16 ounces per pound. Choice C (29 ounces) and Choice D (46.4 ounces) are incorrect because they incorrectly interpret the conversion from pounds to ounces.
