Question

An online camping gear company ships two camping tents to a customer. Each tent weighs 6 lb 10 oz,. What is their combined weight?

Answer 1

add them together so it will be 6 lb 10 oz + 6 lb +10 ox to make 12lb and 20 oz but I am not positive

Answer 2

The answer is 13 pounds (lbs.) and 4 ounces (oz.). There are 2 tents and each is 6 pounds. Add those together and that is 12 pounds. All that is left is to add the ounces. 10+10=20. Since there are only 16 ounces in a pound and we have 20 ounces, we add an extra pound and are left with 4 ounces.
