Christopher Henry · Answer 1

10 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

1 box = 2.5 ounces

64 boxes = (64*2.5) ounces

=160 ounces

though, 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds

therefore 160 ounces = (160*0.0625) pounds

= 10 pounds.

Donna Chavez · Answer 2

The case is ten pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 16 ounces in a pound. Using this information, you can multiply the ounces by the 64 boxes. Then divide the product by 16. You should be left with 10 pounds.
