One pound = 16 ounces.
1 4/5 pounds = 9/5 pounds.
9/5 * 16 = 28.8 ounces.

Answer:  28.8 ounces.

Answer:

[tex]28\frac{4}{5}=28.8[/tex] ounces of pasta.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a box contains 1 4/5 pounds of pasta. We are asked to convert the given quantity in ounces.

Convert mixed fraction into improper fraction:

[tex]1\frac{4}{5}\Rightarrow \frac{5\times 1+4}{5}=\frac{5+4}{5}=\frac{9}{5}[/tex]

We know that 1 pound equals 16 ounces. To convert the given amount into pounds, we will multiply it by 16 as:

[tex]\frac{9}{5}\times 16=\frac{144}{5}=28\frac{4}{5}=28.8[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]28\frac{4}{5}=28.8[/tex] ounces of pasta are in the box.
