Respuesta :

Answer:

The case is ten pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 16 ounces in a pound. Using this information, you can multiply the ounces by the 64 boxes. Then divide the product by 16. You should be left with 10 pounds.

Answer:

10 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

1 box= 2.5 ounces

64 boxes = (64×2.5) ounces

                =160 ounces

though, 1 ounce= 0.0625 pounds

therefore 160 ounces= (160×0.0625)pounds

                                   = 10 pounds.
