You're welcome, Jac.

To find the total weight of the yogurt in pounds, we need to convert the given weights from ounces to pounds by dividing them by 16, since there are 16 ounces in a pound.

The weight of Sarah's vanilla yogurt is 8 ounces. To convert this to pounds, we divide 8 by 16:

8 ounces / 16 = 0.5 pounds

Sarah's vanilla yogurt weighs 0.5 pounds.

The weight of Sarah's father's yogurt is 11 ounces. To convert this to pounds, we divide 11 by 16:

11 ounces / 16 = 0.6875 pounds (this is equivalent to 11/16)

Sarah's father's yogurt weighs approximately 0.6875 pounds or 11/16 pounds.

To find the total weight of the yogurt, we add Sarah's vanilla yogurt weight and her father's yogurt weight:

0.5 pounds + 0.6875 pounds = 1.1875 pounds

So, Sarah and her father bought a total of 1.1875 pounds (or 1 3/16 pounds) of frozen yogurt.
