I figured this would be kinda neat to learn more.....

1 pound=16 ounces

an average slice of bread weighs 1 oz..

i.e.
(approx figures- 0.2 is slightly over 3 oz)

120.0 lbs=120 and 0 oz
120.2 lbs= 120 and 3 oz
120.4 lbs=120 and 6 oz
120.6 lbs= 120 and 9 oz
120.8 lbs= 120 and 12oz
121.0 lbs= 121 and 0oz
121.2 lbs= 121 and 3oz


make sense to everyone?have anything to add or change?
