Answer:

80 ounces

Explanation:

Question: Eight baseballs weigh 40 ounces. How many pounds do 16 baseballs weigh?

Create an equation to solve.

8b = 40

Divide by 8 on both sides.

b = 5

Now that we know one baseball weighs 5 ounces, we can find out how many ounces 16 baseballs weigh.

b(16) = 5(16)

16b = 80 ounces

16 baseballs weigh 80 ounces.

Hope this helps :)
