Karla bought 2 pounds of red beads , 1 3/4 pounds of green beads , and 10 ounces of string at the craft store. How much do Karla's supplies weigh in all.



Answer :

12 ounces are in 3/4 a pound.. and 16 ounces are in a pound.. so adding 16 and 10 gives you 26, which ends up with Karla's supplies weighing 4 pounds and 10 ounces all together.

Answer:

Karla's supplies weigh in all 4.375 pounds or 70 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Karla bought red beads = 2 pounds

green beads = [tex]1\frac{3}{4}[/tex] pounds or 1.75 pounds

String = 10 ounces or 0.625 pound

1 pound = 16 ounces

First we convert each product's weight in pounds

red beads = 2 pounds

green beads = [tex]1\frac{3}{4}[/tex] or 1.75 pounds

string = 10 ounces 10 ÷ 16 = 0.625 pounds

Total = 2 + 1.75 + 0.625 = 4.375 pounds

4.375 × 16 = 70 ounces

Karla's supplies weigh in all 4.375 pounds or 70 ounces.
