    I dont know how many pounds are in an ounce but I'll give you an explanation using kilograms and grams as an example and I'll talk you through it

    Step-by-step explanation:

    there are 1000 grams (g) in a kilograms (kg) just so you know

    let's say I have a 13 g box of cereal for $3.99.

    I do a ratio to work out 1 kg

    13 g : $3.99

    1000g : x

    In your case your going to write

    13 ounces : $3.99

    [here write how many

    ounces are in a pound] : x

    to find x you 1st have to take the 2 numbers you do know and divide them

    so in my example I do 1000g:13 g = 76

    then I take 76.92 and I multiply it by the other side

    $3.99 x 76.92 = 306.91

    for me 1kg of cereal is worth $306.91

    all you need to do is replace my 1 kg with how many ounces are in a pound
