There are 16 oz per pound so…
16+9=25

Then you need to multiply the the ounces by the amount of news papers in one day.
25*24=600

But since there is two days (Saturday and Sunday) you need to multiply by 2
600*2=1200

Then divide by 16 because there are 16 ounces per 1 pound.
1200/16=75

Answer:

So, for both days the news papers will way 75 lbs (pounds) total.
