Answer:
355 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay! We're going to have to use some conversion factors for this problem, since we're working with two different units (pounds and ounces). We know that there are 16 ounces in a pound - that's our first conversion factor. We can use it to write up a little equation to help us:
[tex]\frac{22lbs}{1} *\frac{16oz}{1lb} + 3 = x[/tex]
"x" is the total amount of ounces. Does everything in that equation make sense? The first multiplication part tells us how many ounces are in 22 pounds, and the second part (+ 3) adds the 3 ounces that were there from the beginning. Now, it's time to calculate.
[tex]\frac{22bs}{1} *\frac{16oz}{1lb} + 3 = x\\[/tex]
[tex]\frac{352oz}{1} + 3 = x[/tex]
[tex]352+3 = x[/tex]
[tex]x=355[/tex]
So, there are 355 ounces in a bike that weighs 22 pounds and 3 ounces. Hopefully that's helpful! :)
