Answer 1

No; Magda's bike would only be 55 pounds and 4 ounces after adding the bell and basket.

Explanation:

12 ounces + 8 ounces = 20 ounces. 16 ounces make one pound. So, this would be 1 pound and 4 ounces. (20-16=4) Add 1 pound and 4 ounces to the 2 pounds and you get 3 pounds and 4 ounces. Add this to Magda's bike weight (52 pounds).This equals 55 pounds and 4 ounces, still less than Bill's bike of 56 pounds.
