[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find out how many pounds 8 basketballs weigh, we need to convert the weight of one basketball from ounces to pounds and then multiply it by the number of basketballs.

Given that 1 basketball weighs 20 ounces, we need to convert that weight to pounds. There are 16 ounces in 1 pound. So, we can calculate the weight of one basketball in pounds by dividing 20 by 16:

Weight of 1 basketball in pounds = 20 ounces / 16 ounces per pound = 1.25 pounds

Now, we can find the total weight of 8 basketballs by multiplying the weight of one basketball in pounds by the number of basketballs:

Total weight of 8 basketballs = 1.25 pounds per basketball * 8 basketballs = 10 pounds

Therefore, 8 basketballs weigh 10 pounds.
