Question

If a bag contains 10,500 ounces (oz) of sand, about how many pounds (lb) does it contain? 1 pound = 16 ounces

Answer 1

The answer is 656.26

Answer 2

656.25 pounds

Explanation:

A bag contains 10,500 ounces of sand.

We have to convert the weight of sand from ounces to pounds.

Since 16 ounces = 1 pound

1 ounce =
`(1)/(16)` pound

10,500 ounces =
`(10,500)/(16)` pounds

= 656.25 pounds

Answer is 656.25 pounds of sand is contained in the bag.
