Mrs. Jimenez makes homemade candles in glass jars to sell. She is shipping an order to a vendor. Each candle weighs 2 3/8 pounds. Mrs. Jimenez can fit 6 candles in a box, and she is shipping 5 boxes. What is the total weight of the 5 boxes? Express the answer in simplest form.
The total weight of one candle is 2 3/8 pounds. Mrs. Jimenez can fit 6 candles in a box, so the weight of one box is 2 3/8 pounds/candle * 6 candles/box = <<2+3/8*6=14 1/4>>14 1/4 pounds/box.
The total weight of 5 boxes is 14 1/4 pounds/box * 5 boxes = 71 1/4 pounds.
In simplest form, the total weight of the 5 boxes is 71 pounds. Answer: \boxed{71}.
