If a container contains 18,000 ounces (oz) of beans, about how many pounds (lb) does it contain? [1 pound = 16 ounces] 70 lb 1,125 lb 180 lb 288,000 lb

Option b. 1,125 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

A container contains 18,000 ounces (oz) of beans.

We have to convert ounces to pounds.

As we know 1 pound = 16 ounces

To convert ounces to pounds we have to divide 18,000 ounces to 16.

18,000 ounces = 18000 : 16

= 1,125 lb

Container contains 1,125 pounds of beans.

The answer is B. 1,125
