• A. Batch 1 = 240 ounces, Batch 2 = 288 ounces, and Batch 3 = 384 ounces
• B. Batch 1 = 250 ounces, Batch 2 = 288 ounces, and Batch 3 = 384 ounces
• C. Batch 1 = 240 ounces, Batch 2 = 288 ounces, and Batch 3 = 364 ounces
• D. Batch 1 = 240 ounces, Batch 2 = 268 ounces, and Batch 3 = 384 ounces

Answer 1

The correct option is A Batch 1 = 240 ounces, Batch 2 = 288 ounces, and Batch 3 = 384 ounces

Batch 1 weight $=15$ pounds
Batch 2 weight $=18$ pounds
Batch 3 weight $=24$ pounds

• 1 pound $=16$ ounces
• To get weight in ounces, multiply $15$ pounds with 16, as 1 pound is equal to $16$ ounces.
• For batch $1:15\times 16=240$ ounces
• Thus, there are $240$ ounces in $15$ pounds.
• To get weight in ounces, multiply 18 pounds with 16, as 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces.
• For batch $2:18\times 16=288$ ounces Thus, there are 288 ounces in 18 pounds.
• To get weight in ounces, multiply 24 pounds with 16, as 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces.
• For batch $3:24\times 16=384$ ounces Thus, there are $384$ ounces in 24 pounds.

Hence, the weights of the batches are batch $1=240$ ounces, batch $2=288$ ounces, and batch $3=384$ ounces.
