Question

Barry buys 6
loaves of bread. Each loaf weighs 114
pounds.
What is the total weight of the bread in pounds? in ounces?

Answer 1

To find the total weight of the bread in pounds, you can multiply the number of loaves by the weight of each loaf:

\[
\text{Total weight in pounds} = \text{Number of loaves} \times \text{Weight of each loaf}
\]

Substituting the given values:

\[
\text{Total weight in pounds} = 6 \times 114 = 684 \text{ pounds}
\]

Next, to convert the total weight from pounds to ounces, remember that there are 16 ounces in a pound:

\[
\text{Total weight in ounces} = \text{Total weight in pounds} \times 16
\]

Substituting the total weight in pounds:

\[
\text{Total weight in ounces} = 684 \times 16 = 10,944 \text{ ounces}
\]

Therefore, the total weight of the bread is **684 pounds** and **10,944 ounces**.
