The total weight of the packed box is 9 lb 6 oz

According to question:

The weight of 12 jars is 12 times the weight of one jar

The weight of jars and box together is the sum of those weights.

... 12 × (10 oz) + 1 lb + 14 oz = 1 lb + 134 oz

... = 1 lb + 8 × (16 oz) + 6 oz . . . . . . 1 lb = 16 oz

... = 9 lb 6 oz

<h3>How to convert Ounces to Pounds?</h3>

1 ounce (oz) is equal to 0.0625 pounds (lb).

1 oz = (1/16) lb = 0.0625 lb

The mass m in pounds (lb) is equal to the mass m in ounces (oz) divided by 16:

m(lb) = m(oz) / 16
