A newborn weighs 120 ounces. How many lbs. should the nurse tell the mother that the new baby weighs? Round the answer to the nearest tenth
What will be an ideal response?
7.5 lbs.
Global Rationale: Lbs = 1 lb/16 ounces x 120 ounces/1 . Multiply the numerators (1 x 120 = 120). Multiply the denominators (16 x 1 = 16). 120/16 = 7.5 lbs.
