Problema Solution
A case of Beast dog food weighs 52 pounds 7 ounces. If packaging weighs 3 pounds 11 ounces, how much does the actual food weigh?
Answer provided by our tutors
1 pound = 16 ounces
52 pounds 7 ounces = 51 pounds 16+7 ounces = 51 pounds 23 ounces
51 pounds 23 ounces - 3 pounds 11 ounces = (51 - 3) pounds (23 - 11) ounces = 48 pounds 12 ounces
The actual food weighs 48 pounds 12 ounces.
