Question

Sarah can take no more than 22 pounds and I like the trap her suitcase weighs 112 ounces how many more pounds can she park without going over the limit

Answer 1

Answer:

15 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 16 ounces in one pound

so...

first find the limit in ounces

$22 = \frac{x}{16}$

because there are 16 ounces in every one pound you need to multiply 22 by 16

which is 352

now subtract what you already used

$352 - 112$

which is 240

now convert to pounds

$x = \frac{240}{16}$

which is 15

so 15 more pounds
