Answer:
2627 7/16 lb
Step-by-step explanation:
Please use the " / " symbol to denote division. It's on the " ? " key.
Convert all quantities to "lb:"
1 1/4 tons => Since 1 ton = 2000 lb, this converts easily to 2500 lb.
110 lb => 110 lb
15 oz => 15/16 lb (since 1 lb = 16 oz)
16 1/2 lb => 16 1/2 lb
Add: 2500 lb
110 lb
15/16 lb
16 1/2 lb
---------------------
2500+110+16 + 15/16 lb + 8/16 lb
2626 lb + 23/16 lb, or
2626 lb + 1 7/16 lb, or, finally,
2627 7/16 lb
The correct answer is:
1 [tex]1/4[/tex] ton + 110 lb + 15 oz + 16
12 lb =
2,500 lb + 110 lb + 15 oz + 16 lb + 8 oz =
2,627 lb and 7 oz
This answer is in pounds and ounces.
