What is unit conversion?

It is defined as the conversion from one quantity unit to another quantity unit followed by the process of division, and multiplication by a conversion factor.

We have:

Samuel bought an 8-ounce bag of lettuce and two 1-pound bags of carrots.

As we know:

1 pounds = 16 ounces

Amount of lettuce = 8 ounce


Amount of carrots = 2 pounds = 2×16 = 32 ounces

Total weight of the lettuce and carrots in ounces =  8 + 32 = 40 ounces

Thus. the total weight of the lettuce and carrots in ounces is 40 ounces if Samuel bought an 8-ounce bag of lettuce and two 1-pound bags of carrots option (D) is correct.
