Question

1. big screen tv

a. 40 pounds
b. 2,000 pounds
c. 1.25 ounces
d. 160 ounces

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze unit conversions

First, recall that 1 pound = 16 ounces. Let's convert all options to the same unit (ounces) for easier comparison.

• Option A: \(40\) pounds \(= 40\times16 = 640\) ounces.
• Option B: \(2000\) pounds \(= 2000\times16 = 32000\) ounces.
• Option C: \(1.25\) ounces (already in ounces).
• Option D: \(160\) ounces (already in ounces).

Step2: Estimate the weight of a big - screen TV

A big - screen TV is a relatively heavy household item, but not extremely heavy like 2000 pounds (which is too heavy for a TV) or as light as 1.25 ounces (which is very light, like a small object). 160 ounces is 10 pounds, which is too light for a big - screen TV. 40 pounds (640 ounces) is a reasonable weight for a big - screen TV.

Answer:

A. 40 pounds
