For this case we must take into account the following conversions of units:
 1lb = 16 oz
 1 lb = 0.454 kg
 Applying the conversion of units we have:
 (0.800) * (1 / 0.454) * (16/1) = 28.1938326
 Rounding off we have:
 28.2 oz
 Answer:
 it needs 28.2 oz of flour

Answer:  The correct option is (C) 28.2 oz.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a recipe calls for 0.800 kg of flour.

We are to find the number of ounces of flour that the recipe needs.

Given that

1 lb=16 oz  and  1 lb = 0.454 kg

We will be using the UNITARY method for solving the given problem.

We have

0.454 kg = 1 lb

So, 1 kg will be equal to [tex]\dfrac{1}{0.454}~\textup{lb}.[/tex]

Therefore, 0.8000 kg is equal to

[tex]\dfrac{1}{0.454}\times 0.800=1.762~\textup{lb}.[/tex]

Now, 1 lb = 16 oz.

So, 1.762 lb = 16 × 1.762 = 28.19 = 28.2 oz.

Thus, the recipe needs 28.2 oz of flour.

Option (C) is CORRECT.
