Question

A square tile measuring 4 in. by 4 in. weighs 6 oz. Find the weight, in pounds, of a package of 144 such tiles.

Answer 1

`144 \ tiles = 864\ oz`

Explanation:

Given

Dimension: 4 by 4

Weight: 6 oz

Required

Determine the weight of 144 of the tiles

From the question, we have that:

`1\ tiles = 6\ oz`

Multiply both sides by 144

`144 * 1\ tiles = 6\ oz * 144`

`144 \ tiles = 864\ oz`
