There are 16 ounces in one pound, and thus in 10 pounds of meat mix there are 10*16=<<10*16=160>>160 ounces of sausage meat.
Thus, the 40 sausage links contained 160 ounces of meat, or 160/40=<<160/40=4>>4 ounces per link.
If Brandy ate 12 links, then 40-12=<<40-12=28>>28 links remained.
Thus, 28 remaining links, at 4 ounces per link, contained 28*4=<<28*4=112>>112 ounces of meat.
