Answer: Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to remember that 1 pound (1 lb) has 16 ounces (16 oz)

You know that the pumpkin weighs 4 pounds. Therefore, you need to make the conversion from pounds to ounces.

Then, 4 pounds to ounces is:

[tex](4pounds)(\frac{16ounces}{1pound})=64ounces[/tex]

THerefore, the weight of the pumpkin in ounces is 64 ounces, which matches with the option D.

Answer:

The correct answer option is D) 64 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a pumpkin weights 4 pounds and we are to find the weight of the pumpkin in ounces.

For this, we will use the ratio method.

Assuming x to be the weight of pumpkin in ounces, we can write:

[tex] \frac { 1 pound } { 4 pound } = \frac { 1 6 ounce } { y } [/tex]

[tex] x = 16 \times 4 [/tex]

[tex] x = 6 4 [/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer option is D) 64 ounces.
