A slice of chocolate cake weighs 3 ounces. Do 4 slices weigh more than 1 pound?

yes

1 pound = 16 ounces

Find the weight of 4 slices of chocolate cake.

Multiply 4 times the weight.

Multiply:

4 × 3 = 12

4 slices of chocolate cake weigh 12 ounces.

Now compare 12 ounces to 1 pound.

1 pound is the same as 16 ounces. 16 ounces is more than 12 ounces.

12 ounces is less than 1 pound.

4 slices of chocolate cake weigh less than 1 pound.
