1- An office supply company is shipping a case of wooden pencils to a store. There are 64 boxes of pencils in the case. If each box of pencils weighs 2.5 ounces (oz), what is the weight in pounds, in the case of wooden pencils?

Total weight in lb = 10 lb

The weight of wooden pencils is 10 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an office supply company is shipping a case of wooden pencils to a store.

There are 64 boxes of pencils in the case.

The weight each box of pencils is 2.5 ounces (oz)

We are asked to find the weight of wooden pencils in pounds.

Step 1: Find the total weight of pencils in ounces

Since there are 64 pencils and each pencil weighs 2.5 ounces,

Total weight in oz = 64×2.5

Total weight in oz = 160 oz

Step 2: Convert the total weight of pencils into pounds

We know that 1 pound has 16 ounces so we have to divide the total weight of the pencils by 16 to get the weight in pounds

Total weight in lb = 160/16

Total weight in lb = 10 lb

Therefore, the weight of wooden pencils is 10 pounds.
