Wanda is shopping for a pet carrier for her cats one small Carrie I can hold 240 ounces her cat weighs 12 pounds can the carrier hold the cat

1 pound = 16 ounces

To determine if the pet carrier can hold the weight of the cat, we need to convert the weight of the cat from pounds to ounces.

Since 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces, we can multiply the weight of the cat (12 pounds) by 16 to convert it to ounces:

12 pounds * 16 ounces/pound = 192 ounces

Now, we have the weight of the cat in ounces, which is 192 ounces.

Since the pet carrier can hold 240 ounces, and the weight of the cat is 192 ounces, we can compare the two values. If 192 ounces is less than or equal to 240 ounces, then the carrier can hold the cat.

192 ounces <= 240 ounces

Since this statement is true, we can conclude that the carrier can indeed hold the weight of the cat.
