Batch 1

Batch 2

Batch 3

Size (in pounds)

Size (Iin ounces)

15	11	20

Answer 1

Batch 1 weight $=15$ pounds
Batch 2 weight $=11$ pounds
Batch 3 weight $=20$ 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 x 16 = 240 ounces
• Thus, there are 240 ounces in 15 pounds.
• To get weight in ounces, multiply 11 pounds with 16, as 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces.
• For batch 2: 11 x 16 = 176 ounces
• Thus, there are 176 ounces in 18 pounds.
• To get weight in ounces, multiply 20 pounds with 16, as 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces.
• For batch 3: 20 x 16 = 320 ounces
• Thus, there are 384 ounces in 320 pounds.

Hence, the weights of the batches are batch $1=240$ ounces, batch $2=176$ ounces, and batch $3=320$ ounces.
