hello
to solve this question, we simply need to equate this
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1\text{pound}=16\text{ounces} \\ 10\frac{1}{2}=x\text{ ounces} \\ \text{cross multiply both sides } \\ x\times1=10.5\times16 \\ x=168\text{ounces} \end{gathered}[/tex]from the calculation above, 10.5 pounds would be equal to 168 ounces
