The correct answer is B.
To find the total weight in pounds, we multiply the number of loaves by the weight per loaf:
6 loaves x 1 1/4 pounds per loaf = 7 1/2 pounds
To find the total weight in ounces, we need to convert the pounds to ounces (since there are 16 ounces in a pound):
7 1/2 pounds x 16 ounces per pound = 120 ounces
To find the total weight of the bread in pounds, multiply the number of loaves by the weight of each loaf.
We have 6 loaves and each loaf weighs 1 1/4 pounds.
So, 6 x 1 1/4 = 7 1/2 pounds.
Therefore, the total weight of the bread in pounds is 7 1/2 pounds.
To convert the weight to ounces, multiply the weight in pounds by 16 (since there are 16 ounces in 1 pound).
So, 7 1/2 x 16 = 120 ounces.
Therefore, the total weight of the bread in ounces is 120 ounces.
Therefore, the answer is C. 7 1/2 pounds; 120 ounces.
