To compare weights, we need to convert them to the same unit. In this case, we can convert pounds to ounces.
To do this, we multiply the given weight of 7 pounds by the conversion factor of 16. There are 16 ounces in 1 pound.
7 pounds * 16 ounces/pound = 112 ounces
Adding the 12 ounces given in the original weight, the total weight is 112 + 12 = 124 ounces.
Therefore, the correct symbol to compare the weights is "=" because 124 ounces is equal to 124 ounces.
