Adding Pounds and Ounces

How to add pounds and ounces

  • Add the ounces together.
  • If the number of ounces is greater than 16, divide the ounces by 16.
  • The quotient is the number of pounds that need to be added to the other pounds.
  • The remainder is the number of extra ounces.
  • Add the original pounds plus the whole pounds resulting from the addition of the ounces.

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

  • Add 8 ounces to 10 ounces:
    8 + 10 = 18 ounces
  • The number of ounces is greater than 16 so divide by 16:
    18 ÷ 16 = 1 pound 2 ounces
  • Add the pounds:
    5 + 3 + 1 = 9 pounds
  • Answer: 9 pounds 2 ounces
