Use 1lb=0.45 kg1 \mathrm{lb}=0.45 \mathrm{~kg} and do not round any computations. \square oz

Studdy Solution
Calculate the total ounces of filler needed.
Given: Filler per pound=1.3 oz \text{Filler per pound} = 1.3 \text{ oz}
Total ounces of filler: Total filler=300 lb×1.3 oz/lb \text{Total filler} = 300 \text{ lb} \times 1.3 \text{ oz/lb}
Total filler=390 oz \text{Total filler} = 390 \text{ oz}
The factory will need:
390 oz \boxed{390} \text{ oz}
