Yes; but only if you are wearing clothing. The significance of 5lbs is simply that it is an estimated weight of the average person's clothing. By subtracting this number from what the scale is reading-if you are wearing clothing-you will get a better idea of what you weigh unclothed.

Since 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces, we can convert 11 pounds 5 ounces into 181 ounces ((11 x 16) +5) and we can convert 1 pound 15 ounces into 31 ounces. All we need to do now is to subtract 31 from 181 (= 150 ounces) Once you convert this back into pounds you get: 9 pounds and .375 of a pound. .375 converts to 6 ounces. Answer: 9 pounds 6 ounces
