Hi Cam

 

I'm up the road in Lansing. Small world!

 

So you want to know how much 112 boxes weigh, given that 2 boxes weigh 3 oz.  How many 2 box sets are in 112 boxes?  112/2 = 56 sets of 3 oz.each.  3 x 56 =168 oz.  

 

What is that in lbs?  168 oz. x 1lb/16 oz = 168 lb/16 = 10.5 lb.  

 

Make sense?  There are other ways to do it.  Let me know if you have a question.
