Answer:

72 lbs for the shelves alone, and all together the bookshelf weighs 110 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Take the weight of the shelves (12 lbs) and multiply it by the number of shelves total (6), giving us the equation: 6x12 lbs =72 lbs.

Step 2: take the total weight of the shelves (72 lbs) and add the weight of the base (38 lbs), giving us the equation 72 lbs+ 38 lbs= 110 lbs all together.
