an office supply company is shipping a case of paper to a school.There are 10 reams of paper in the case.If each ream of paper weighs 32 ounces,what is the weight,in pounds, of the case of paper?



Answer :

If there are 10 reams, and each ream is 32 ounces, then there is 320 ounces total im the case! Then, if you know that there are 16 ounces in a pound, then you can do 320/16, and get a total of 20 pounds in the case!

Hope this helped!
16 ounces = 1 pound 1 ream = 32 ounces= 2pounds 10 reams x 2 pounds= 20 case weighs 20 pounds hope this helps
