Answer:
The correct option is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that a box of nails weighs [tex]1\frac{5}{6}[/tex] pounds.
Weight of one box can be written as
[tex]1\frac{5}{6}=\frac{6+5}{6}=\frac{11}{6}[/tex]
We need to find the weight of 12 boxes.
Weight of 12 boxes = 12 × Weight of 1 box
[tex]\text{Weight of 12 boxes}=12\times \frac{11}{6}[/tex]
Cancel out the common factors.
[tex]\text{Weight of 12 boxes}=2\times 11[/tex]
[tex]\text{Weight of 12 boxes}=22[/tex]
The weight of 12 boxes is 22 pounds. Therefore the correct option is A.
