How many pounds of nails will be needed to fill 100 boxes with 8oz. of nails in each?
1 pound = 16 ounces
So would it be 100 x 8 / 16 =50 lbs ?
Right.
Thank you for working with me on math problems
You're welcome.
To find out how many pounds of nails are needed to fill 100 boxes with 8 ounces of nails each, we need to perform a simple conversion and multiplication.
First, we need to convert the weight of one box of nails from ounces to pounds. Since there are 16 ounces in one pound, we divide 8 ounces by 16 to get the weight in pounds:
8 ounces ÷ 16 = 0.5 pounds
Next, we multiply the weight of one box (0.5 pounds) by the number of boxes (100) to get the total weight of nails needed:
0.5 pounds/box × 100 boxes = 50 pounds
Therefore, you would need 50 pounds of nails to fill 100 boxes with 8 ounces of nails in each.
