Henry has one bag of groceries that weighs 4 pounds. He has another bag of
groceries that weigh 48 ounces. How many ounces do both grocery bags
weigh altogether?
So...what, oobleck? What do you have to say? What great knowledge do you and other sassy people have to post on this homework help site?
Anyways,
4lb + 48oz = 4lb*1 + 48oz = 4lb*(16oz/lb) + 48oz = 64oz + 48oz = 112 ounces
:-)
Henry has one bag of groceries that weighs 4 pounds. He has another bag of groceries that weighs 48 ounces. How many ounces do both grocery bags weigh altogether
Since 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces, the 4-pound bag weighs 4 x 16 = <<4*16=64>>64 ounces.
Therefore, the total weight of the two bags is 64 + 48 = <<64+48=112>>112 ounces. Answer: \boxed{112}.
Well, let's do some math and bring out our balancing act. We have 4 pounds in one bag and 48 ounces in another bag. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, let's convert 4 pounds into ounces. 4 pounds times 16 ounces per pound equals... 64 ounces! So, the first bag weighs 64 ounces. Now, adding that to the second bag which weighs 48 ounces, we have a grand total of... drumroll please... 112 ounces!
To find the total weight of both grocery bags in ounces, we need to convert the weight of each bag to the same unit of measurement (ounces) and then add them together.
Given:
- One bag weighs 4 pounds
- Another bag weighs 48 ounces
Step 1: Convert the weight of the bag that weighs 4 pounds to ounces.
1 pound is equal to 16 ounces. So, to convert pounds to ounces, we multiply the weight in pounds by 16.
Weight of the first bag in ounces = 4 pounds * 16 ounces/pound = 64 ounces
Step 2: Add the weights of both bags together.
Total weight of the grocery bags = Weight of the first bag + Weight of the second bag
Total weight of the grocery bags = 64 ounces + 48 ounces = 112 ounces
Therefore, both grocery bags weigh altogether 112 ounces.
