Question

Eight baseballs weight 40 ounces.How many pounds do 16 baseballs weight

Answer 1

Answer:

80 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

If eight baseballs weigh 40 ounces, it means that there are 40 ounces in every eight baseballs.

40 ounces / 8 baseballs can be simplified to 5 ounces / 1 baseball.

So each baseball weighs 5 ounces.

If there were 16 baseballs, they would weigh 16 * 5 ounces.

16 * 5 = 80

16 baseballs weigh 80 ounces.
