Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  B)  4 2/8 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

After 5/8 of the dough was used for pizza, the remaining amount is ...

  1 -5/8 = 3/8

The difference between the amounts is then ...

  (5/8×17 oz) - (3/8×17 oz) = (5/8 -3/8)×17 oz = 2/8×17 oz = 34/8 oz

  = 4 2/8 oz
