Respuesta :

There are 37 eight ounce of cheese.
37 times 8 =  296 ounces of cheese.
There are 16 ounces in a pound, so divide.
296/16 = 18.5 pounds on the shelf.

Then he places 24 ounce of cheese on the shelf. Divide that by 16.
24/16 = 1.5 pounds.

Add the pounds together-
18.5 + 1.5 = 20 pounds (lbs)
