Write the ratio as a fraction in simplest form 12 oz. : 3 lb.

OpenStudy (lilai3):

there are 16 ounces in one pound. you first have to convert the 3 pounds to the unit of ounces.

OpenStudy (lilai3):

so there are 16 ounces, 3 pounds. you multiply them together. you get 48 ,correct?

OpenStudy (lilai3):

so now, your ratio is ounces:ounces, correct? you can piece it together: 12 oz : 48 oz simplify. you get 1 oz: 4 oz. rewrite as fraction: 1/4, or 25%. hope i helped! (:
