Answer 1

A large brick weighs 8 pounds. A small brick weighs 52 ounces. How can you determine the difference in weight between the large brick and the small brick?



A. Divide 16 by 8, and then add 52.



B. Divide 16 by 8, and then subtract 52.



C. Multiply 8 by 16, and then add 52.



D. Multiply 8 by 16, and then subtract 52.y 8 by 16, and then subtract 52.​

Remember that

1 pound =16 ounces

Convert pounds to ounces

so

Multiply 8 pounds by 16

8(16)=128 ounces

Find the difference

128-52=76 ounces

therefore

the answer is

option D. Multiply 8 by 16, and then subtract 52
