Question

If a bag contains 10,500 ounces (oz) of sand, about how many pounds (lb) does it contain? 1 pound = 16 ounces

Answer 1

Answer:

656.25 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

A bag contains 10,500 ounces of sand.

We have to convert the weight of sand from ounces to pounds.

Since 16 ounces = 1 pound

           1 ounce = $\frac{1}{16}$ pound

10,500 ounces = $\frac{10,500}{16}$ pounds

                        = 656.25 pounds

Answer is 656.25 pounds of sand is contained in the bag.
