A book weighing 2 lb 5 oz is mailed at the rate of 0.32 per ounce. Find the cost of mailing the book

Answer 1

Hello Linda, Let's change the weight of the book into ounces.

Where 16 ounces equals one pound.

We have 2 lbs x 16 = 32 ounces PLUS the 5 ounces = Total of 37 ounces.

37 ounces times 0.32 = $11.84 Is the cost of mailing the book.

Hope this helps.
