Answer:

A: 1/16 = 5/x

Step-by-step explanation:

1 pound is 16 ounces

5 pounds is 80 ounces

let 5 pounds be x

the equation should be x = 80

A: 1/16 = 5/x

    x=80

B: 1/8=5/x

   x=40

C: 1/8=x/5

   [tex]x=\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

D: 1/16=x/5

   [tex]x=\frac{5}{16}[/tex]
  • We know 1lbs=16oz

Hence

  • 1oz=1/16

The proportion is

  • 1/16=5/x

Option A

solve for x.

  • x=16(5)
  • x=80oz
