Given:

Elena has a pet parakeet that weighs 6 when measured in one unit and 170 when measured in a different unit.

6__________ = 170______

To find:

The correct units from grams and ounces for these blanks.

Solution:

We know that, 1 ounce is greater than 1 gram.

1 ounce = 28.3495 grams

Multiply both sides by 6.

6 ounces = 170.097 grams

Approximate the values to the nearest whole number.

6 ounces = 170 grams

Therefore, 6 ounces = 170 grams.
