Answer:
64 ounces.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Drew has two cats.
One cat weighs 17 pounds.
The other one weighs 12 pounds. (instead of 1212 pounds)
Audrey's dog weighs 33 pounds.
Question asked:
What is the difference in ounces between Audrey's dog and the combined weights of Drew's cats ?
Solution:
<u>For Drew </u>
Weight of one cat = 17 pounds
Weight of another cat = 12 pounds
Combined weight = 17 pounds + 12 pounds = 29 pounds
Now, convert it into ounces:-
As we know:
1 pound = 16 ounces
29 pounds = 16 29 = 464 ounces
<u>For Audrey</u>
Weight of dog = 33 pounds
Now, convert it into ounces:-
1 pound = 16 ounces
33 pounds = 16 33 = 528 ounces
Combined weight of Drew's cats = 464 ounces
Weight of Audrey's dog = 528 ounces
Difference = 528 ounces - 464 ounces = 64 ounces
Thus, the difference in ounces between Audrey's dog and the combined weights of Drew's cats is of 64 ounces.
