Question

There are 16 ounces in 1 lb juwan is mailing a package that weighs 10 lb he wants to know the weights of the package and the ounces

Answer 1

Juwan is mailing a package that weighs 10lb

for every 1 lb you have 16 ounces inside the package

if 1 lb ------- 16 ounces

10lb ------- x ounces

reason why we have x ounces is because we dont know how many ounces 10 lb we give us

cross multiplication

1 * x = 10 x 16

x = 10 x 16

x = 160 ounces

10lb we give us a total of 160 ounces

therefore, there are 160 ounces in the 10 lb package juwan is mailing

The answer is 160 ounces
