Answer 1

Given

F a bag contains 10,500 ounces (oz) of sand

Find out how many pounds (lb) does it contain.

To proof

As given in the question

F a bag contains sand = 10,500 ounces (oz)

1 pound = 16 ounces

`1\ ounces =(1)/(16)\ pounds`

F a bag contains sand in the pounds

`= (10500*1)/(16)`

solving the above terms

we get

`=(10500)/(16)`

solving the above

= 656.25 pounds

F a bag contains 656.25 pounds of sand

Hence proved
