To find the shipping weight, we need to find the total weight of the books.
The weight of each book is 15/16 lb.
To find the total weight, we multiply the weight of each book by the number of books packed:
15/16 lb/book * 12 books = 180/16 lb
We need to simplify the fraction 180/16:
180/16 = 11 4/16
Since 4/16 simplifies to 1/4, the shipping weight is 11 1/4 lb.
