    Total birth weight in pounds is 20 Ib

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Coversion factor

    1 oz = 1/16 Ib = 0.0625 Ib

    The weight of the first baby

    = 5 Ib 6 oz = 5 Ib + (6 x 0.0625) Ib

    = 5.375 Ib

    The weight of the second baby

    = 4 Ib 10 oz = 4 Ib + (10 x 0.0625) Ib

    = 4.625 Ib

    The weight of the third baby

    = 4 Ib 14 oz = 4 Ib + (14 x 0.0625) Ib

    = 4.875 Ib

    The weight of the fourth baby

    = 5 Ib 2 oz = 5 Ib + (2 x 0.0625) Ib

    = 5.125 Ib

    The total birth weight of the quadruplet is the sum of the individual weights of the four babies

    5.375 Ib + 4.625 Ib + 4.875 Ib + 5.125 Ib

    = 20 Ib.

    The total birth weight in pounds is 20 Ib
