Answer 1

Answer:

48 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps:

Combine the weight of the cats.

12 (assuming it is a typo, 1212 pounds is a pretty big cat!) + 17 = 30 pounds

Convert to ounces.

33 pounds = 528 ounces

30 pounds = 480 ounces

Subtract the two/find the difference.

528 - 480 = 48.

The difference in ounces between Audrey's dog and the combined weights of Drew's cats is 48 ounces.
