How many pounds are in 192 ounces?

  • A. 16 pounds
  • B. 10 pounds
  • C. 12 pounds
  • D. 16 pounds
Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert ounces to pounds, divide the number of ounces by 16 since there are 16 ounces in a pound. Therefore, 192 ounces · 16 = 12 pounds. Choice A, 16 pounds, is incorrect because it does not represent the correct conversion from ounces to pounds. Choice B, 10 pounds, is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 192 ounces by 16. Choice D, 16 pounds, is the same as choice A and is incorrect in the context of this conversion.
