Answer:
There is a difference of 24 ounces between Xan and Katie's weight.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Weight of Xan = 6 pounds 9 ounces
Wieght of Katie = 8 pounds 1 ounce.
We need to find the difference, in ounces, between Xan and Katie's weight.
Solution:
Now we know that;
1 pound = 16 ounces.
Weight of Xan = [tex]6 \times 16 +9 = 105\ ounces[/tex]
Weight of Katie = [tex]8 \times 16 +1 =129\ ounces[/tex]
Now to find the difference, in ounces, between Xan and Katie's weight we will subtract Weight of Xan in ounces from Weight of Katie in ounces.
framing in equation form we get;
Difference (ounces) = [tex]129 -105 = 24\ ounces[/tex]
Hence There is a difference of 24 ounces between Xan and Katie's weight.
