Question

A delivery person has two packages. The first package weighs 4 pounds, 7 ounces and the second package weighs 3 pounds, 15 ounces.

How many more ounces does the first package weigh?

Answer 1

There are 16 ounces in 1 pound.

1. We must figure out the total amount of ounces in the first package.
2. We take the total number of ounces in one pound (16) and multiply it the our given number of pounds, which 4. This will convert the measurement of pounds to ounces.
3. So, 16 x 4 = 64. There are 64 ounces in four pounds.
4. We must add the extra 7 ounces to get the total amount of ounces in the first package.
5. 64 + 7 = 71, so there are a total of 71 ounces in the first package.
6. We must figure out the total amount of ounces in the second package.
7. We take the total number of ounces in one pound (16) and multiply it the our given number of pounds, which 3. This will convert the measurement of pounds to ounces.
8. So, 16 x 3 = 48 ounces in 3 pounds.

b. We. must add the 15 ounces to get the total amount of ounces in our first package.

I. 48 + 15 = 63, there are 63 total ounces in the second package.

To get our answer we subtract the first package from the second package: 71 - 63 = 8

There are 8 more ounces in the first package.

Answer 2

4 lbs 7 oz - 3 lbs 15 oz need to "borrow" some oz from the 4 lbs

3 lbs (16 + 7) oz - 3 lbs 15 oz

3 lbs 23 oz - 3 lbs 15 oz

23 oz - 15 oz

8 oz

Answer 3
