Question

Sammy's pet dog weighs 10 pounds, and his pet caterpillar weighs 2 ounces. how many ounces less does his pet caterpillar weigh?

Answer 1

1 lb = 16 oz....so 10 lbs = (16*10) = 160 oz
so the dog weighs 160 oz and the caterpillar weighs 2 oz...
therefore, the caterpillar weighs (160 - 2) = 158 oz less then the dog

Answer 2

16 ounces in a pound. 16 times 10 equals 160. 160 minus 2 is 158. Therefore the answer is 158 ounces. I hope this helped!
