Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First, add the ounces: $14 \mathrm{oz} + 12 \mathrm{oz} = 26 \mathrm{oz}$. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, convert 26 ounces into 1 pound and 10 ounces. Then, add the pounds: $9 \mathrm{lb} + 4 \mathrm{lb} + 1 \mathrm{lb} (from the ounce conversion) = 14 \mathrm{lb}$. Therefore, the answer is $14 \mathrm{lb} 10 \mathrm{oz}$.
