Question 3 • FowU - Financial Math - B

Rachel weighed her two cats, Tiger and Mittens. Tiger weighed 10.91 pounds, and Mittens weighed 178.08 ounces. Which cat is heavier, and how many pounds heavier is she?

Answer
A
Tiger is 1.02 pounds heavier than Mittens.
B
Tiger is 3.49 pounds heavier than Mittens.
C
Mittens is 0.22 pounds heavier than Tiger.
D
Mittens is 3.93 pounds heavier than Tiger.

Explanation

There are 16 ounces in a pound, so Mittens weighs 178.08 ÷ 16 = 11.13 pounds. Compare 11.13 pounds with Tiger’s 10.91 pounds: 11.13 − 10.91 = 0.22 pounds. Mittens is 0.22 pounds heavier than Tiger, which is choice c.
