B. n = 16p

Step-by-step explanation:

number of ounces = n

number of pounds = p

There are 16 ounces in 1 pounds (unite rate: 1 pounds = 16 ounces)

Therefore, there would be n ounces in p pounds

Set a proportion to find n.

16 : 1 = n : p

$\frac{16}{1} = \frac{n}{p}$

Multiply both sides by p

$\frac{16}{1} \times p = \frac{n}{p} \times p$

$\frac{16 \times p}{1} = n$

16p = n

n = 16p
