Answer 1

The net weight of the contents is 9 lb. 6 oz.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the net weight of the contents, you need to subtract the weight of the packaging from the gross weight of the package and its contents.

The packaging weighs 1 pound 15 ounces, which can be written as 1 lb. 15 oz.

Subtracting 1 lb. 15 oz from the gross weight of 11 pounds 5 ounces gives us a net weight of 9 pounds 6 ounces, which can be written as 9 lb. 6 oz.
