Question
Eli caught three fish. The weights of the fish were 2 lb 4 oz, 1 lb 11 oz, and 4 lb 14 oz,. What was the total weight of the
three fish?

Respuesta :

Answer:

8 lbs. 13 oz.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 lb. 4 oz.

+ 1 lb. 11 oz.

4 lb. 14 oz.

__________

7 lbs. 29 oz.

Since there are 16 oz in one pound, subtract 16 from 29 to get 13 oz and don’t forget to add that pound to the 7, so your final answer should be 8 lbs. 13oz.
