Anita has written a book of tips on staying healthy each book weighs 15/16 pounds 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
To find the shipping weight excluding the box, we need to multiply the weight of one book by the number of books packed in the box.
The weight of one book is 15/16 pounds.
The number of books packed in the box is 12.
So, the shipping weight excluding the box is (15/16) * 12 = 180/16 = 11 4/16 pounds.
To convert this answer to a mixed number, we divide the numerator (180) by the denominator (16):
180 รท 16 = 11 with a remainder of 4.
Therefore, the shipping weight excluding the box is 11 4/16 pounds, which simplifies to 11 1/4 pounds.
