Question
An average lab pup weighs 1 pound 3 ounces. The average litter is 6 puppies. What is the total weight in ounces of this average brood?
Solution
Sure, let's break it down:
-
First, we need to convert the weight of one puppy into ounces. We know that 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces. So, 1 pound 3 ounces is equal to 16 ounces + 3 ounces = 19 ounces.
-
Now, we know that the average litter is 6 puppies. So, the total weight of the average litter in ounces would be 6 puppies * 19 ounces/puppy = 114 ounces.
So, the total weight of an average litter of lab puppies is 114 ounces.
