Anita has written a book of tips on staying healthy. Each book weighs 1516 lb. If she packs 12 books in a box for shipping, what will be the shipping weight, excluding the box?

The creator of the original comment meant 15/16 and not 1516 therefore the original answer for "Anita has written a book of tips on staying healthy. each book weighs 15/16 lb. if she packs 12 books in a box for shipping, what will be the shipping weight, excluding the box? convert the answer to a mixed number" is 11 1/4 or in other words eleven and one over four :)

the answer is what?

thanks @mimi

To find the shipping weight, excluding the box, of the 12 books, we need to multiply the weight of one book by the number of books in the box.

First, let's find the weight of one book: 1516 lb

Now, let's multiply the weight of one book by the number of books in the box: 1516 lb/book * 12 books = 18192 lb

Therefore, the shipping weight, excluding the box, of the 12 books would be 18,192 lb.

To find the shipping weight excluding the box, we need to multiply the weight of one book by the number of books in a box.

Weight of one book = 1516 lb
Number of books in a box = 12

Shipping weight, excluding the box = Weight of one book * Number of books in a box
= 1516 lb * 12
= 18192 lb

Therefore, the shipping weight, excluding the box, will be 18192 lb.
