Question

9 lb 4 oz − 2 lb 12 oz

Answer 1

Answer: 6 LB 12 OZ

16 OZ in a LB

9 LB - 2 LB = 7 LB

4 OZ - 12 OZ difference of 8 OZ

4 - 4 = 0 then 16 OZ in a LB

4 remaining - 16 = 12 dropping the 7 LB to 6 LB

Explanation:

Answer 2

First, turn into just ounces (1lb. = 16oz.)

9 lb 4 oz = 148 oz

2 lb 12 oz = 44 oz

Second, subtract.

148 - 44 = 104 oz

Third, turn into pounds and ounces.

104 oz = 6 lb 8 oz
