The problem asks to compare 10 pounds and 158 ounces and determine which is more.

2. Solution Steps

To compare the two quantities, we need to convert them to the same unit. We can convert pounds to ounces, or ounces to pounds. Let's convert pounds to ounces.
We know that 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces.
1 pound=16 ounces1 \text{ pound} = 16 \text{ ounces}
Therefore, 10 pounds is equal to:
10 pounds=10×16 ounces=160 ounces10 \text{ pounds} = 10 \times 16 \text{ ounces} = 160 \text{ ounces}
Now we can compare 160 ounces and 158 ounces.
Since 160>158160 > 158, we have that 10 pounds (which is 160 ounces) is more than 158 ounces.

3. Final Answer
