Sonja caught three fish. The weights of the fish were 3 lb 2 oz, 1 lb 11 oz, and 2 lb 6 oz. What was the total weight of the three fish? (1 lb =16 oz)

We will have that the total weight of the fish was:


W=3lb\ast(16oz)/(1lb)+2oz+2lb\ast(16oz)/(1lb)+6oz\Rightarrow W=88oz

So, the total weight of the fish was 88 oz, that is 5.5lb.
