Since we only have pounds and are looking for ounces, we need to know how many ounces are in a pound.
There are 16 ounces in 1 pound.
We have 4 3/4 pounds, so we should get the whole amount first.
4 x 16 = 64. There is 64 ounces so far, but we have 3/4 of 1 pound, so we need to divide 16 ounces (1 pound) by 4 so we can get how many 1/4's needed.
16/4 = 4, so for every 1/4 pound there is 4 ounces.
Since we have 3/4 ounces, multiply 4 by 3. We get 12.
Add up our two answers.
64 + 12 = 76.
The fish weighed 76 ounces.
I hope this helps!
