Answer:

108 ounces

(This is also 6.75lbs or 6 3/4 lbs or 6pounds12ounces)

Explanation:

Use equivalent fractions to find the weight of 36 bars.

bars/weight

= #/ounces

= 5/15 This was given.

=1/3 This means 1bar weighs 3oz.

1/3 = 36/108 Get this by times 36 on top and bottom to get

the ratio to say 36bars. 36/108 tells you that 36bars weighs 108ounces.
