Problem Statement

The question tells us Eric has a bag containing 16 ounces of spaghetti, 32 ounces of tomatoes and 1 pound of ground beef. We are required to find the total weight of what he is carrying.

Method

- To solve this question, we need to follow these steps:

1. Convert all ounce measurements into pounds:

To convert from ounces to pounds, we use the following conversion:

1 ounce -----> 0.0625 pounds

2. Add up all the weights together to get the total weight of what Eric is carrying.
