To find the shipping weight, we need to multiply the weight of one book by the number of books in the box.
Weight of one book = 13/16 lb
Number of books = 12
Shipping weight = (13/16 lb) * 12
= (13 * 12) / 16
= 156/16
= 9 3/4 lbs
Therefore, the shipping weight, excluding the box, is 9 3/4 lbs.
Ms. Spilker wrote a book on pickleball strategy. Each book weighs 13/16 lb. If she packs 12 books in a box for shipping, what will be the shipping weight, excluding the box? Convert the answer to a mixed number.(1 point)
