a) "Ignatius Trott had, at the age of 7 years, a Conscience able to support a weight of 21 lb., 4 oz. The weight which it could carry increased every year thereafter 16 lb., 7 oz. What weight (in lb) can his Conscience support at his present age, 57 1 2 years?" (If you have forgotten, 1 pound or 1 lb = 16 ounces or 16 oz. Advice: Work with fractions.
