Answer:

Bill: 912

Magda: 916

916>912

Magda's weighs more

Explanation:

Bill has a bike that weighs 57 pounds. Magda has a bike that weighs 53 pounds. She adds a bell and basket to her bike. The bell weighs 14 ounces and the basket weighs 3 pounds and 6 ounces. Does Magda's bike with its new bell and basket weigh more than Bill's bike? Complete the explanation.

Before we begin, keep in mind that 1 pound = 16 ounces

Thus, Bill's bike must weigh 57 * 16, or 912 ounces

Magda's bike is given to weigh 848 + 14 + 54 = 916 ounces

Because 916 is bigger than 912, Magda's bike weighs more.

I hope this helps! Feel free to ask any questions!
