Answer 1

This looks pretty easy. Is this a trick question or what? I might be wrong but the answer seems to be B. 110 lb.

Explanation:

Solution:

Given,

weight of Randy = 50 pounds

weight of his father = 160 pounds

difference in their weights = ?

Now,

difference in their weights =

weight of his father - weight of Randy

= 160 - 50

= 110 pounds

Therefore, the difference in their weights is 110 pounds.

Answer 2

The answer is B. Because the different in there weight is calculated by subtracting Randy’s weight ( 50 lb) from his fathers weight (160 lb ) which equals 110 lb.
