Gear weigh is 65.75 lb,
Explanation:
Given Freddie’s camping gear weighs 70 lb in total.
He adds an extra pair of shoes which weighs 2 lb 4 oz and
removes tent stakes that weigh 6 lb 8 oz.
So does the gear weigh now is as
1 oz = 0.0625 lb, 2 lb 4 oz = 2 lb + 4 X 0.625 lb =
2 lb + 0.25 lb = 2.25 lb,
so gear weigh + weigh of pair of shoes is
70 lb + 2.25 lb = 72.25 lb,
Now tent stakes weigh is 6 lb + 8 X 0.0625 lb =
6 lb + 0.5 lb = 6.5 lb, After removing tent stakes weighs
we get gear weigh as 72.25 lb – 6.5 lb = 65.75 lb.
