The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Convert 34\\frac{3}{4}43\u200b of a pound to ounces:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We know that 1 pound (lb) is equal to 16 ounces (oz). To convert 34\\frac{3}{4}43\u200b pound to ounces, we use the multiplication operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Original number \u00d7 Conversion fact = Answer<\/strong>34\u2009lb\u00d716\u2009ozlb=34\u00d716=12\u2009oz\\frac{3}{4} \\, \\text{lb} \\times 16 \\, \\frac{\\text{oz}}{\\text{lb}} = \\frac{3}{4} \\times 16 = 12 \\, \\text{oz}43\u200blb\u00d716lboz\u200b=43\u200b\u00d716=12oz<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, 34\\frac{3}{4}43\u200b of a pound is 12 ounces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Convert 8 13\\frac{1}{3}31\u200b feet to inches:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The conversion fact is 1 foot (ft) = 12 inches (in). To convert 8 13\\frac{1}{3}31\u200b feet to inches, we multiply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Original number \u00d7 Conversion fact = Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, convert 8138 \\frac{1}{3}831\u200b to an improper fraction:813=2538 \\frac{1}{3} = \\frac{25}{3}831\u200b=325\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now multiply by the conversion factor:253\u2009ft\u00d712\u2009inft=25\u00d7123=3003=100\u2009in\\frac{25}{3} \\, \\text{ft} \\times 12 \\, \\frac{\\text{in}}{\\text{ft}} = \\frac{25 \\times 12}{3} = \\frac{300}{3} = 100 \\, \\text{in}325\u200bft\u00d712ftin\u200b=325\u00d712\u200b=3300\u200b=100in<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, 8 13\\frac{1}{3}31\u200b feet equals 100 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Convert 65 centimeters to feet:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The conversion fact is 30.5 cm = 1 foot. To convert 65 cm to feet, we use division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Original number \u00f7 Conversion fact = Answer<\/strong>65\u2009cm\u00f730.5\u2009cmft=6530.5\u22482.13\u2009ft65 \\, \\text{cm} \\div 30.5 \\, \\frac{\\text{cm}}{\\text{ft}} = \\frac{65}{30.5} \\approx 2.13 \\, \\text{ft}65cm\u00f730.5ftcm\u200b=30.565\u200b\u22482.13ft<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, 65 centimeters is approximately 2.13 feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Convert 35 kilometers to miles:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The conversion fact is 1 mile = 1.6 kilometers. To convert 35 kilometers to miles, we divide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Original number \u00f7 Conversion fact = Answer<\/strong>35\u2009km\u00f71.6\u2009kmmi=351.6=21.875\u2009mi35 \\, \\text{km} \\div 1.6 \\, \\frac{\\text{km}}{\\text{mi}} = \\frac{35}{1.6} = 21.875 \\, \\text{mi}35km\u00f71.6mikm\u200b=1.635\u200b=21.875mi<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, 35 kilometers is approximately 21.88 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Convert 8 inches to feet:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We know that 1 foot = 12 inches, so to convert inches to feet, we divide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Original number \u00f7 Conversion fact = Answer<\/strong>8\u2009in\u00f712\u2009inft=812=23\u2009ft8 \\, \\text{in} \\div 12 \\, \\frac{\\text{in}}{\\text{ft}} = \\frac{8}{12} = \\frac{2}{3} \\, \\text{ft}8in\u00f712ftin\u200b=128\u200b=32\u200bft<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, 8 inches equals 23\\frac{2}{3}32\u200b feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Convert 2640 feet to rods:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We know that 1 rod = 16.5 feet. To convert 2640 feet to rods, we divide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Original number \u00f7 Conversion fact = Answer<\/strong>2640\u2009ft\u00f716.5\u2009ftrod=264016.5\u2248160\u2009rods2640 \\, \\text{ft} \\div 16.5 \\, \\frac{\\text{ft}}{\\text{rod}} = \\frac{2640}{16.5} \\approx 160 \\, \\text{rods}2640ft\u00f716.5rodft\u200b=16.52640\u200b\u2248160rods<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, 2640 feet is approximately 160 rods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
