Answer: 24
8 oz is half a pound because a pound is 16 oz, so if you count how many halves go into 12 lbs you get 24 bags
Using a calculator I put 1,284/26=49.384615385. Rounded to tenth: 49.4 :)
We are given that the insect can lift 1.182 x 10^3 times
it's own weight. Say that w is weight, so the lift is:
lift = 1.182 x 10^3 * w
Assuming that your body weight is 60 kg, therefore you
can lift:
lift = 1.182 x 10^3 * 60 kg = 70,920 kg
