How many pounds are in 80 ounces?

  • A. 5 pounds
  • B. 6 pounds
  • C. 4 pounds
  • D. 3 pounds
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert ounces to pounds, you need to know that there are 16 ounces in a pound. Therefore, to find how many pounds are in 80 ounces, you divide 80 by 16, which equals 5 pounds. Thus, the correct answer is 5 pounds. Choice B, 6 pounds, is incorrect because it doesn't accurately reflect the conversion from ounces to pounds. Choice C, 4 pounds, and Choice D, 3 pounds, are also incorrect as they do not align with the correct conversion factor of 16 ounces to 1 pound.
