Arianna has two piles of newspapers to take to recycling. The first pile weighs 10 pounds 7 ounces. The second pile weighs 148 ounces. What is the total weight of the newspapers in ounces?
Answers
Answer:-
315 ounces.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to remember that :-
1 pound = 16 ounces.
10 pounds = 10 × 16
= 160 ounces.
We need to add the additional 7 ounces.
160 + 7 = 167 ounces.
Now, the 2nd pile weighs 148 ounces.
First pile + Second pile = Required Answer.
= 167 + 148
= 315 ounces is the required answer to the question.
Remember that units need to be the same.
Here, I converted into ounces because it's easier!

Given :-
Arianna has two piles of newspapers to take to recycling. The first pile weighs 10 pounds 7 ounces. The second pile weighs 148 ounces.
To Find :-
Total weight of the newspapers in ounces?
Solution :-
we know that
16 ounces = 1 pounds
10 pound 7 ounces = (10 × 16) + 7
= 160 + 7
= 167
Now
The total weight = Weight of one pile + Weight of second piles
Total weight = 167 + 148
Total weight = 315 ounces
