The tutor shows a conversion from early Math 10 Pre-Calc.<\/h1>\n

Herein, I use the abbreviations oz<\/strong> for ounce and lb<\/strong> for pound.<\/p>\n

Example: Convert 1013 ounces to pounds and ounces.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Solution:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Realize that 16 oz=1 lb.<\/li>\n
  2. Divide 1013 by 16 to get how many whole pounds you have.<\/li>\n
  3. On a calculator, you’ll get the answer 63.3125. Keep the 63, but discard the decimal.<\/li>\n
  4. The 63 means 63 pounds. You just need to find the number of ounces left over.<\/li>\n
  5. Multiply 63 by 16; you’ll get 1008.<\/li>\n
  6. The number of ounces left over is 1013-1008, or 5 ounces.<\/li>\n
  7. Realize the meaning of the answer: 1013 oz is 63 lb, 5 oz.<\/li>\n
  8. Check your answer: 63×16+5=1013:)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    There are other ways to do this conversion, but this way seems the neatest that doesn’t use the fraction button.<\/p>\n

    I’ll be discussing unit conversions in future posts:)<\/p>\n
