Sarah can take no more than 22 pounds and I like the trap her suitcase weighs 112 ounces how many more pounds can she park without going over the limit

Answer:

15 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 16 ounces in one pound

so...

first find the limit in ounces

[tex]22 = \frac{x}{16} [/tex]

because there are 16 ounces in every one pound you need to multiply 22 by 16

which is 352

now subtract what you already used

[tex]352 - 112[/tex]

which is 240

now convert to pounds

[tex]x = \frac{240}{16} [/tex]

which is 15

so 15 more pounds
