    The weight of water is approximately 2 pounds 3 ounces per litre. How much will 8 litres of water weigh?

    First, convert 2 pounds 3 ounces to ounces.
    16 ounces to a pound, so we have:
    2(16) + 3
    32 + 3
    35 ounces for one liter

    For 8 litres, we have:
    35 * 8 = 280 ounces

    Now, convert that back to pounds
    280/16 = 17.5 pounds, or 17 pounds, 8 ounces.
