1. Answer:–

   315 ounces.

   Step-by-step explanation:

   We need to remember that :-

   1 pound = 16 ounces.

   10 pounds = 10 × 16

   = 160 ounces.

   We need to add the additional 7 ounces.

   160 + 7 = 167 ounces.

   Now, the 2nd pile weighs 148 ounces.

   First pile + Second pile = Required Answer.

   = 167 + 148

   = 315 ounces is the required answer to the question.

   Remember that units need to be the same.

   Here, I converted into ounces because it’s easier!

2. Given :-

   Arianna has two piles of newspapers to take to recycling. The first pile weighs 10 pounds 7 ounces. The second pile weighs 148 ounces.

   To Find :-

   Total weight of the newspapers in ounces?

   Solution :-

   we know that

   16 ounces = 1 pounds

   10 pound 7 ounces = (10 × 16) + 7

   = 160 + 7

   = 167

   Now

   The total weight = Weight of one pile + Weight of second piles

   Total weight = 167 + 148

   Total weight = 315 ounces[tex]\\[/tex]
