Question

last month, margaret's puppy had a change in weight of -9 ounces. which does not show a greater change in weight? loss of 10 pounds, loss of 8 ounces, gain of 14 pounds, gain of 12 ounces

Answer 1

Since she already had an integer you do (-9)-10=-19 Then you would do (-19)-8=-27 Then you do -27 + 14=-13 Then -13 + 12=-1 or you can just do -27 + 14 + 12=-1. That's the answer
