To find the total weight of the books in the box, we need to multiply the weight of one book by the number of books. The weight of one book is 15/16 lb and she packed 12 books in the box.
So, the total weight of the books would be (15/16) * 12 = 180/16 = 11 4/16 = 11 1/4 lb.
Therefore, the shipping weight of the books, excluding the box, is 11 1/4 lb.
