Max needs to ship six identical packages, each weighing 3 lb. 12 oz.What is the total weight of the shipment?

Explanation

Multiply 3 lb. 12. oz. by 6 to get 18 lb. 72 oz. Divide 72 oz. by the number of oz. in a pound (16) to get 4 lbs. with a remainder of 8 oz. Therefore, 18 lb. 4 lb. 8 oz. = 22 lb. 8 oz.
