Bill has a bike that weighs 59 pounds. Magda has a bike that weighs 50 pounds. She adds a bell and basket to her bike. The bell weighs 10 ounces and the basket weighs 2 pounds 5 ounces.

Does Magda's bike with its new bell and basket weigh more than Bill's bike? Complete the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation: Convert the values to the same units. So lbs to ounces. 59 lbs is 944 ounces. Magda had 50 lbs originally and is now adding 2 more lbs. So she has a total of 52 lbs now. 52 lbs us 832 ounces. But, the bell is also 10 ounces so thats 10 more ounces. Making it 842 ounces. Also the basket had the extra 5 ounces so you add that on to get 847 ounces. 944>847
