Elijah's scouting troop is running a food drive. They visit the Greener Grocer to ask for donations. The generous owner gives them two boxes of food. One box has twenty 16-ounce bags of pasta. The other box has sixteen 15-ounce cans of beans. How many pounds of food did the grocery store donate in all?
