To calculate the total weight of the 6 loaves of bread, we first need to convert the weight of each loaf from a mixed number to an improper fraction or a decimal for easier multiplication.
Each loaf weighs 1 1/4 pounds, which can be converted as follows:
1 1/4 = 1 + 1/4 = 1 + 0.25 = 1.25 pounds
Now we can find the total weight for 6 loaves:
Total weight = Number of loaves × Weight per loaf
Total weight = 6 × 1.25 = 7.5 pounds
Now we convert the weight from pounds to ounces. There are 16 ounces in a pound, so:
Total weight in ounces = Total weight in pounds × 16 ounces/pound
Total weight in ounces = 7.5 × 16 = 120 ounces
So the total weight of the bread is:
**7.5 pounds; 120 ounces**
The correct response would be:
**7 1/2 pounds; 120 ounces**
Each loaf weighs 1 1/4 pounds, which can be converted as follows:
1 1/4 = 1 + 1/4 = 1 + 0.25 = 1.25 pounds
Now we can find the total weight for 6 loaves:
Total weight = Number of loaves × Weight per loaf
Total weight = 6 × 1.25 = 7.5 pounds
Now we convert the weight from pounds to ounces. There are 16 ounces in a pound, so:
Total weight in ounces = Total weight in pounds × 16 ounces/pound
Total weight in ounces = 7.5 × 16 = 120 ounces
So the total weight of the bread is:
**7.5 pounds; 120 ounces**
The correct response would be:
**7 1/2 pounds; 120 ounces**
