Adding Pounds and Ounces

Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, this is how to add pounds and ounces:

Add the ounces together.
Add the pounds together.
If the number of ounces is 16 or more, regroup the ounces into pounds:
- Divide the ounces by 16.
- Add the quotient to the number of pounds.
- The remainder is the number of extra ounces.

Example: Add 5 pounds 8 ounces plus 3 pounds 10 ounces:

8 + 10 = 18 ounces
5 + 3 = 8 pounds
Since 18 is 16 or more, regroup the ounces into pounds:
18 ÷ 16 = 1 pound 2 ounces
Final answer: 9 pounds 2 ounces
