Answer:
The difference in weigh between Audrey's dog and the combined weighs of Drew's cats is 64 ounces.
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer has a small typo on the weigh of the second cat, wich I'll be considering to be 12 pounds. In order to solve this question we first need to find the combined weigh of the cats, that is the sum of both:
combined weigh = weigh of cat 1 + weigh of cat 2
combined weigh = 17 + 12 = 29 pounds
The difference in weigh of the Dog's weigh by the combined cat's weigh is the subtraction between the two, so we have:
Difference in weigh = 33 - 29 = 4 pounds
We now have to convert it to ounces, since 1 pound contains 16 ounces we can multiply the value of the weigh in pounds by 16 to obtain the final value:
Difference in weigh = (4 pounds)* 16 = 64 ounces
