Answer 1

The correct answer is B.

To find the total weight in pounds, we multiply the number of loaves by the weight per loaf:

6 loaves x 1 1/4 pounds per loaf = 7 1/2 pounds

To find the total weight in ounces, we need to convert the pounds to ounces (since there are 16 ounces in a pound):

7 1/2 pounds x 16 ounces per pound = 120 ounces
