The gross weight of a package and its contents is 11 pounds 5 ounces. If the packaging weighs 1 pound

15 ounces, what is the net weight of the contents?

A. 10 lb. 6 oz.

B. 9 lb. 6 oz.

C. 12 lb. 20 oz.

D. 10 lb. 5 oz.

For this case, what we must do is add the corresponding units correctly.

We then take the following measures:

11 pounds 5 ounces

1 pound 15 ounces

The net weight, we obtain it by subtracting both quantities.

We have the following conversion:

1 pound = 16 ounces

We have then:

(11 pounds 5 ounces) - (1 pound 15 ounces)

Rewriting we have:

(11 pounds + (5/16) pounds) - (1 pound + 15/16 pounds)

(11.3125 pounds) - (1.9375 pounds)

9,375 pounds

(9 pounds + 0.375 * 16 ounces)

(9 pounds + 6 ounces)

Answer:

The net weight of the contents is:

B. 9 lb. 6 oz.

B is the answer there is net weight we needed just subtract from each other
