Answer:

The carrier can hold the cat.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of conversion between ounces and pounds is

1 ounce (oz) is equal to 0.0625 pounds (lb)

So, The carrier can hold 240 x 0.0625 =15 pounds

The cat weighs 12 pounds, that is less than the maximun (15 pounds).

Yes, 12 x 16 gives us the amount of ounces the cat weighs which is 192 ounces. Therefore, her cat CAN fit. 192 oz < 240 oz
