Question

Madison says her pet cat weighs about 8 ounces. Her brother Phillip says the cat weighs about 8 pounds. Whose estimate is more accurate? Use benchmarks to explain your answer. ​

Answer 1

8 Pounds

Explanation:

A cat that weighs 8 oz would be half of a pound, and that seems highly inaccurate. Most cats on average in the U.S. weigh 8 pounds, therefore that is your answer.
