Answer:

1. Yes

2. 112 ounces

Explanation:

To answer this question, we should first convert the amount of pounds Rick's cat weighs into ounces, so that both measurements are in the same unit. Since 1 pound is the same as 16 ounces, we can multiply 7 pounds by 16 ounces:

7 * 16 = 112

So, Rick's cat weighs 112 ounces, which is more than his neighbor's puppy, which only weighs 103 ounces. so for the first question, the answer is:

Yes, Rick's cat weighs more than the puppy.

And the second answer is:

Rick's cat weighs 112 ounces.

Hope this helps :)
