Question

Teddy was having trouble fitting into his clothes due to weight gain. In January, he weighed 180 lbs 6 oz. He gained 3 lbs 9 oz, 5 lbs 12 oz, and 6 lbs 11oz in the next three months. How much does Teddy weigh now?

Answer 1

He weighs 196 lbs and 6 ounces. if you add the pounds (180 to 3, 5, 6)you get 194. then you add he ounces, and remember that there are 16 ounces in a pound and 8 ounces in a cup, (6 to 9, 12, 11) you get 2lbs and 6 ounces. then you add the 2 extra pounds to the 194 and you get, all together, 196 lbs and 6 ounces.
