An office supply company is shipping a case of wooden pencils to a store. there are 64 boxes of pencils in the case. If each box of pencils weighs 2.5 ounces, what is the weight,in pounds, of the case of wooden pencils?
If one box weighs 2.5 ounces, then 64 boxes will weigh 64 times 2.5 ounces or 160 ounces. To convert that to pounds, divide by 16 and that will give you a total of 10 pounds in total.
