Question

Ms. Spencer is packing orders for her bath supply business. One customer ordered 8 bath fizzies and 4 jars of sugar scrub. Each bath fizzy weighs 5 ounces, and each jar of sugar scrub weighs 1.5 pounds. How many pounds does this customer's entire order weigh?

Answer 1

8 bath fizzes * 5 (ounces) = 40 ounces. 4 jars of sugar scrub * 1.5 (pounds) = 6 pounds. So 6 pound and 40 ounces. (40 ounces = 2.5 pounds. So 8.5 pounds in total.) ( If you want to convert the answer to ounces, 8.5 pounds is 136 ounces.)
