Solution

The correct option is B 303 ounces
Weight of the sports toy batch = 18 pounds and 15 ounces.
  • We cannot directly add weights with different units of measurement. The weights need to be converted to the same unit of measurement.
  • 1 pound = 16 ounces
  • To get weight in pounds, multiply 18 pounds with 16, as 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces.
  • 18×16=288 ounces Thus, there are 288 ounces in 18 pounds.
  • The total weight of the batch in ounces = 288 ounces + 15 ounces = 303 ounces
Hence, 303 ounces is the weight of the batch is 303 ounces
