An onion weighs 5 ounces. Do 10 onions weigh more than 2 pounds?

yes

1 pound = 16 ounces

Find the weight of 10 onions.

Multiply 10 times the weight.

Multiply:

10 × 5 = 50

10 onions weigh 50 ounces.

Now compare 50 ounces to 2 pounds.

Find out how many ounces are in 2 pounds.

Multiply 2 times the conversion above.

Multiply:

× 16 = 32

There are 32 ounces in 2 pounds.

50 is more than 32.

50 ounces is more than 2 pounds.

10 onions weigh more than 2 pounds.
