Answer 1

16 ounces = 1 pound 1 ream = 32 ounces= 2pounds 10 reams x 2 pounds= 20 case weighs 20 pounds hope this helps

Answer 2

If there are 10 reams, and each ream is 32 ounces, then there is 320 ounces total im the case! Then, if you know that there are 16 ounces in a pound, then you can do 320/16, and get a total of 20 pounds in the case!
