Convert the following: 7 tbsp. = __________ oz., __________ ml. Convert the following: ½ lb. = __________ oz., __________ gm.

Steps to Solve

1. Convert tablespoons to ounces

To convert tablespoons to ounces, we use the conversion factor that 1 tablespoon is approximately equal to 0.5 ounces:

$$ \text{ounces} = 7 , \text{tbsp} \times 0.5 , \frac{\text{oz}}{\text{tbsp}} = 3.5 , \text{oz} $$

2. Convert tablespoons to milliliters

Now, we convert tablespoons to milliliters. The conversion factor is that 1 tablespoon is approximately equal to 15 milliliters:

$$ \text{ml} = 7 , \text{tbsp} \times 15 , \frac{\text{ml}}{\text{tbsp}} = 105 , \text{ml} $$

3. Verify the options for the first part

From the conversions, we get 3.5 oz and 105 ml. The correct option is:

• c. 3.5 oz / 105 ml

4. Convert pounds to ounces

Next, we need to convert ½ pound to ounces. Using the conversion factor where 1 pound is 16 ounces:

$$ \text{ounces} = \frac{1}{2} , \text{lb} \times 16 , \frac{\text{oz}}{\text{lb}} = 8 , \text{oz} $$

5. Convert pounds to grams

Now, we convert ½ pound to grams using the conversion factor that 1 pound is approximately 453.592 grams:

$$ \text{grams} = \frac{1}{2} , \text{lb} \times 453.592 , \frac{\text{g}}{\text{lb}} \approx 226.796 , \text{g} $$ This rounds to approximately 227 g.

6. Verify the options for the second part

From the conversions, we get 8 oz and 227 g. The correct option is:

• c. 8 oz / 227 gm
