Answer:

64 ounces of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the amount of ounces needed when lily´s mother asked to bring 4 pounds is just matter of multoplying the number of ounces that one pound has by the number of pounds needed you can obtain the amount of ounces needed.

So if 1 pound= 16 ounces

Then 4 pounds would be:

You just have to multiply 4 by 16 and divided by one, that is 64.
