The correct conversion from pounds to ounces is that 1 pound equals 16 ounces. Therefore, when converting larger amounts, the relationship holds consistently, meaning:

  • For 4 pounds, you multiply 4 by 16 to get 64 ounces (4 lbs x 16 oz/lb = 64 oz).

This confirms that option B is accurate as it follows the correct conversion factor between pounds and ounces.

The other options do not reflect proper conversions based on the standard metric equivalency.
