Question
An average wolf pup weighs 1 pound 13 ounces. The average litter is 3 puppies. What is the total weight in ounces of this average brood?
Solution
Sure, let's break it down:
-
First, we need to convert the weight of the wolf pup from pounds to ounces. There are 16 ounces in a pound. So, 1 pound 13 ounces is equal to (1*16) + 13 = 29 ounces.
-
The average litter is 3 puppies. So, the total weight in ounces of this average brood is 3 puppies * 29 ounces/puppy = 87 ounces.
