Answer:

1. Baseball - 0.3125 - 0.328125

2. Handball - 0.13125 - 0.14375

3. Bowling ball - 10 - 16

4. Soccer ball - 0.875 - 1

We are given the weight ranges of the sports balls in ounces.

It is required to convert these ranges into pounds.

As, we know that 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds.

So, we get,

1. Baseball: It has weight range given by 5 - 5.25 ounces.

As 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds, then 5 ounce = 0.3125 pounds and 5.25 ounce = 0.328125 pounds

Thus, in pounds, we get the range is 0.3125 - 0.328125.

2. Handball: It has weight range given by 2.1 - 2.3 ounces.

As 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds, then 2.1 ounce = 0.13125 pounds and 2.3 ounce = 0.14375 pounds

Thus, in pounds, we get the range is 0.13125 - 0.14375.

3. Bowling ball: It has weight range given by 160- 256 ounces.

As 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds, then 160 ounce = 10 pounds and 256 ounce = 16 pounds

Thus, in pounds, we get the range is 10 - 16.

4. Soccer ball: It has weight range given by 14 - 16 ounces.

As 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds, then 14 ounce = 0.875 pounds and 16 ounce = 1 pound

Thus, in pounds, we get the range is 0.875 - 1.
