To find the combined weight of three steaks weighing $$14$$ ounces, $$1$$ pound $$2$$ ounces, and $$1$$ pound $$6$$ ounces, add each unit column separately and then simplify:

1. **Add the ounces:** $$14 + 2 + 6 = 22$$ ounces.
2. **Add the pounds:** $$0 + 1 + 1 = 2$$ pounds.
3. **Intermediate result:** $$2$$ pounds $$22$$ ounces.
4. **Convert the excess ounces:** Since $$1$$ pound $$= 16$$ ounces, divide $$22 \div 16 = 1$$ remainder $$6$$, so $$22$$ ounces $$= 1$$ pound $$6$$ ounces.
5. **Combine the pounds:** $$2 + 1 = 3$$ pounds.

The total weight is $$3$$ pounds $$6$$ ounces. The key technique is to line up and combine like units first, then carry over any amount that exceeds the conversion threshold ($$16$$ ounces per pound).

Adding Mixed Weight Units to Find a Total

Based on the provided scenario and the standard operating procedures for weight calculation, identify the specific conversion factor that must be recalled to simplify the results and describe the final step required to incorporate the converted units into the total.

To add mixed weight units, add the ounces together and the pounds together first, then simplify.

How many ounces equal $$1$$ pound?

When you divide $$25 \div 16 = 1$$ remainder $$9$$, what is the $$9$$ called?

When adding weights, a sum comes out to $$8$$ pounds $$16$$ ounces. Why must this be simplified?

Question:
Explain how to add these weights: $$14$$ ounces, $$1$$ pound $$2$$ ounces, and $$1$$ pound $$6$$ ounces.

Sample answer:
Add the ounces together and the pounds together separately. Here, $$14 + 2 + 6 = 22$$ ounces and $$0 + 1 + 1 = 2$$ pounds, giving $$2$$ pounds $$22$$ ounces. Since $$1$$ pound $$= 16$$ ounces, convert: $$22 \div 16 = 1$$ remainder $$6$$, so $$22$$ ounces $$= 1$$ pound $$6$$ ounces. Add that pound to the $$2$$ pounds for a total of $$3$$ pounds $$6$$ ounces.

Key points:
- Add all ounce values together first
- Add all pound values together separately
- Know that $$1$$ pound $$= 16$$ ounces
- Divide the ounce total by $$16$$ to find extra pounds and leftover ounces
- Add the extra pounds to the pound total for the final answer

Rubric:
Full credit for adding ounces and pounds separately, correctly converting the excess ounces to pounds using $$16$$ ounces $$= 1$$ pound, and stating the correct final total. Partial credit if the units are added correctly but the conversion step is missing or incorrect.
