How many ounces are in one pound?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct. So we would multiply the pounds by 16 to convert them into ounces, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

13 lb 6 oz - 8 lb 11 oz What is 13 times 16? What is 8 times 16?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

208

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8 times 16 is 128

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and 13 times 16 is 208

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it's 208+6 and 128+11. Can you give me an answer for each of those problems?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

208 plus 6 is 214

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, and 128+11?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and 128 plus 11 is 139

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let's subtract them. What's 214-139?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right. Sixteen only fits into 75 four times with a remainder of 11. So your answer should be 4lb 11oz.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay thanks
