Suppose you are flying from Detroit to San Francisco. The airline allows for a maximum of 40 pounds of carry-on luggage. In your luggage you want to put an 11.5 pound CD player, clothes weighing 15. 35 pounds, makeup weighing 1.65 pounds, and books weighing 9.45 pounds.
a)Estimate to the nearest higher pound the total weight of the items.
b) Will you be able to take everything with you?
a) 12+15+2+9=38 pounds
b) Yes, this is less than 40 pounds, but you should consider the weight of the bag so this would be very close.
