An office supply company is shipping a case of paper to a school. There are 10 reams of paper in the case. If each ream of paper weighs 32ounces, what is the weight, in pounds, of the case of paper?

Here is a hint: 10 * 32 = 320 oz. Convert 320 oz into pounds. :)

320 ounces because there are 10 reams in the case and you multiply them because 32 oz times 10 reams equals weight of one case
