Joyce Johnson has two open containers of barley. If she combines 3lb 15oz from one container and 1lb and 5oz from the other, how much barley will she have in all

Respuesta :

The total volume of barley Joyce Johnson has in the two open containers is 5 lb 4 oz.

Volume

This is the unit of a three-dimensional measure of space that comprises a length, a width and a height. It is measured in units of cubic centimeters in metric, cubic inches or cubic feet.

  • Container 1 = 3lb 15oz
  • Container 2 = 1lb and 5oz

Total barley in the containers = container 1 + container 2

= 3lb 15oz + 1lb and 5oz

= 4 lb 20 oz

  • Convert oz to lb

16 oz = 1 lb

20 oz = 1 lb 4 oz

So,

4 lb 20 oz

= 5 lb 4 oz

Therefore, the total volume of barley Joyce Johnson has in the two open containers is 5 lb 4 oz
