Cindy is on a strict diet because she is trying to lose 15 pounds. If Cindy is successful and loses 15 pounds, how many ounces will she have lost?

To determine the number of ounces Cindy will have lost if she successfully loses 15 pounds, we need to know the conversion factor between pounds and ounces. There are 16 ounces in 1 pound. Therefore, to find the number of ounces, we multiply the number of pounds by the conversion factor:
Number of ounces = Number of pounds * Conversion factor = 15 pounds × 16 ounces/pound = 240 ounces
Therefore, if Cindy successfully loses 15 pounds, she will have lost 240 ounces.
