1. The problem is to complete the statement describing how to convert ounces to pounds using the given number line. 2. We know from the number line that 16 ounces equals 1 pound. This means the unit rate is 16 ounces per pound. 3. To convert ounces to pounds, we use the formula: $$\text{pounds} = \frac{\text{ounces}}{\text{ounces per pound}}$$ 4. Substituting the unit rate, we get: $$\text{pounds} = \frac{\text{ounces}}{16}$$ 5. This means to find the weight in pounds, divide the number of ounces by 16. 6. So the completed statement is: "To find the weight in pounds, divide the number of ounces by the unit rate, 16 ounces per pound."
