Part A:

Add all the values:

Convert the oz into pounds:

1oz = 16 pounds

Divide each value by 16:

55 oz = 55/16 = 0.3125 pounds

11 oz = 11/16= 0.6875 pounds

14 oz = 14/16 = 0.875 pounds

1 pound = 1 lb

3 3/4lb= 3.75 lb

2 1/4 = 2.25 lb

2lb

Now add:

Total weight = 3.75 + 0.3125+ 2.25+0.6875+0.875 = 7.875 lb
