help me guys. please.

Okay, here's one way: 
You take 7 3/4lbs and break it down into decimal form = 7.75 then you multiply it times 124ounces (or since you didn't know the number and other one) and then take your answer, in this case 961 and divide it by 7.75 to give you 124 ounces.

^Not sure that's right since we still don't know what Â½ stands for

@calculusfunctions, I'm not the person who posted the question. I came here to help.

hero · Answer

This question was meant to be solved in a specific manner. I'm thinking perhaps a proportion.

calculusfunctions · Answer

You would be correct or you can use the conversion factor 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds.

hero · Answer

The problem was intended to be solved without using conversion factors.

calculusfunctions · Answer

Yes but in order to do that you need to know what that A is as you @Hero said.
