one bag of oranges weighs 3 pounds and 4 ounces, a bag of apples weighs 65 ounces, which one weighs more?
1 pound = 16 ounces
(3 * 16) + 4 = ?
To compare the weights of the bag of oranges and the bag of apples, we need to ensure that we are using the same unit of measurement. In this case, we will use ounces.
First, let's convert the weight of the bag of oranges from pounds and ounces to ounces.
We know that 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces and that there are 4 ounces in 1 quart.
So, to convert the weight of the bag of oranges to ounces, we'll perform the following calculations:
3 pounds * 16 ounces = 48 ounces
4 ounces + 48 ounces = 52 ounces
Therefore, the weight of the bag of oranges is 52 ounces.
Now, we can compare the weights.
The bag of oranges weighs 52 ounces, and the bag of apples weighs 65 ounces.
Since 65 ounces is greater than 52 ounces, the bag of apples weighs more than the bag of oranges.
