According to the given data we have the following:
Each rod weighs 24 oz
henc, weighs of each rods= 15 *24oz=360 oz.
In order to calculate the total weight of the rods in pounds we would have to make to make the following calculations:
16 oz= 1 lb, hence:
[tex]\frac{16\text{ oz}}{1\text{ lb}}=1\text{ and }\frac{1\text{ lb}}{16\text{ oz}}=1[/tex]Therefore:
[tex]360\text{ oz}\times\text{ }\frac{\text{1 lb}}{16\text{ oz}}=\frac{360}{16}lb=22\frac{1}{2}lb[/tex]Therefore, 360 oz= 22 1/2 lb
Therefore, the total weight of the rods in pounds is: 22 1/2 pounds
