"How much more than" hints that you need to subtract the original weight (10 oz.) from the current weight (15 pounds, 3 oz.).

Important:  16 oz. = 1 lb.

I'd suggest that you convert 15 lb, 3 oz. to oz, so that you can easily compare the cat's mature weight to its weight at 2 weeks.
  
    15 lb 3 oz
 -          10 oz    (subtract 10 oz)         
-------------------- 
            ?              This is "how much more he weighs now."

Example:  convert 2 lb 11 oz    to    oz.

Solution:     (2 lb) (16 oz) / (1 lb) + 11 oz.  Note how "lb" will disappear.

What Is the line of reflection between pentagons PQRST and P'Q'R'S'T' ?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram:

  • P(-4,6)→P'(4,6);
  • Q(-7,4)→Q'(7,4);
  • R(-6,1)→R'(6,1);
  • S(-2,1)→S'(2,1);
  • T(-1,4)→T'(1,4).

The general rule of this reflection is

(x,y)→(-x,y)

and this is reflection across the y-axis. The y-axis has the equation x=0.
