Answer :
Final answer:
The result of adding 12 lb 15 oz and 2 lb 14 oz is 15 lb 13 oz.
Explanation:
This question requires knowledge of the English system of weights, where there are 16 ounces in a pound. Adding the ounces from both weights first, we get 15 oz + 14 oz = 29 oz. However, since there are only 16 ounces in a pound, this equals 1 pound 13 ounces (remember, 16 oz is carried over as 1 pound). Next, we add the pounds, 12 lb + 2 lb + the 1 lb (carried over from the ounces) = 15 lb. Therefore, 12 lb 15 oz + 2 lb 14 oz = 15 lb 13 oz.
