Question

Betsy caught three fish. The weights of the fish were 3 lb 2 oz, 2 lb 11 oz, and 2 lb 8 oz. What was the total weight of the three fish?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 lbs 5 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

When you add 3 lbs, 2 lbs, and 2 lbs you get 7 lbs.

There are 16 oz in a lb. When you add the number of oz you get 21 oz which is the same as 1 lb and 5 oz.

you then add 7 lbs to 1 lb and 5 oz and get 8 lbs and 5 oz.
