Answer 1

The right answer is Option A: 1.35 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Apples bought by Joleen = 12

Weight of one apple = 1.8 ounces

Weight of 12 apples = 12*1.8

Weight of 12 apples = 21.6 ounces

It is also given that

1 lb = 16 oz

1 oz = $\frac{1}{16}\ lb$

21.6 oz = $21.6*\frac{1}{16}$

21.6 oz = $\frac{21.6}{16} = 1.35\ lb$

Joleen bought 1.35 pounds of apples.

The right answer is Option A: 1.35 lb
