The amount of waste is 22 oz

<h3>How to determine the waste amount?</h3>

The weights of the 3 rainbow trouts are:

3 Ib 5 oz, 2 Ib 12 oz, and 3 Ib 8 oz.

The total weight is:

Total = 3 Ib 5 oz + 2 Ib 12 oz + 3 Ib 8 oz

Evaluate the sum

Total = 8 Ib 25 oz

The amount she was left with is 8 Ib 2 oz

Subtract this amount from the total

Waste = 8 Ib 25 oz - 8 Ib 2 oz

Evaluate

Waste = 22 oz

Hence, the amount of waste is 22 oz
