Answer:
[tex]10\frac{1}{24}[/tex] ounces.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that one box of clips weighs 4 2/3 ounces. Another box weighs 5 3/8 ounces.
To find the total weight of two boxes, we will add both quantities.
[tex]\text{The total weight of two boxes}=4\frac{2}{3}+5\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
Convert mixed fractions into improper fractions:
[tex]4\frac{2}{3}\Rightarrow \frac{4\times 3+2}{3}=\frac{12+2}{3}=\frac{14}{3}[/tex]
[tex]5\frac{3}{8}\Rightarrow \frac{5\times 8+3}{8}=\frac{40+3}{8}=\frac{43}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\text{The total weight of two boxes}=\frac{14}{3}+\frac{43}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\text{The total weight of two boxes}=\frac{14*8}{3*8}+\frac{43*3}{8*3}[/tex]
[tex]\text{The total weight of two boxes}=\frac{112}{24}+\frac{129}{24}[/tex]
[tex]\text{The total weight of two boxes}=\frac{112+129}{24}[/tex]
[tex]\text{The total weight of two boxes}=\frac{241}{24}[/tex]
[tex]\text{The total weight of two boxes}=10\frac{1}{24}[/tex]
Therefore, the total weight of the two boxes is [tex]10\frac{1}{24}[/tex] ounces.
