I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Thank you for pointing it out.
To convert 80 ounces to pounds, we can use the proportion:
16 ounces / 1 pound = 80 ounces / ? pounds
To find the value of "?", we can cross-multiply:
16 * ? pounds = 80 * 1 pound
This can be simplified to:
16? = 80
To solve for ?, we divide both sides by 16:
? = 80 / 16
? = 5
Therefore, the correct proportion to use is:
16 ounces / 1 pound = 80 ounces / 5 pounds
Again, I apologize for my previous mistake, and I hope this clarification helps.
