Question

2) Ms. Scott's nicos, Lily, and her nephew, Oliver, were both born a little over a year ago. Oliver weighed 8 pounds 4 bunces when he was born. Lily weighed 7 pounds when she bom. How many more ounces did Oliver weigh than Lily?​

Answer 1

Answer: Oliver weighs 20oz more than Lilly

Oliver is 8lbs and 4oz while lily is 7lbs

Olivers weight minus lily’s weight: 8lbs - 7lbs = 1lb 4oz

Now, convert 1lb left over into oz
Formula for lbs—>oz: (# of lbs) x 16 = (# of oz)

In this case the equation would be 1lb x 16 = 16oz

Finally, add the extra 4oz found previously to the 16oz for a final answer of 20oz
