Question

Ever bought 6 pounds and 7 ounces of pomegranates 5 pounds of melon and 15 ounces of lemon what is the combined weight of the fruit he bought

Answer 1

Answer:

12 pounds, 6 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add up both the pounds. 6+5=11 . Then, add up the ounces. 7+15=22 To simplify, since ounces make up pounds, and 16 ounces are in one pound, you would do 22 divided by 16. This will end in a decimal so take the highest number of 16 that can go into 22, which is 1. Subtract 16 from 22 to get the new number of ounces. This would be 6. Then, add 1 to the number of pounds. This would be 12. The simplified/combined answer is 12 pounds and 6 ounces.
