Amiyah Cross · Answer 1

It weighs 5 ounces.

First subtract. 32 from 1.16, which gives you. 84. Then divide. 84 by. 21 and you get four. Add four to the initial ounce, and you get 5 ounces.

Lauren Saunders · Answer 2

First add the 0.32 for the first ounce than 0.32+0.21=0.53. That is 2 ounces than add 0.21 until you get 1.16 which is 5 ounces
