Koji is cooking dinner. He has a yellow onion that weighs 0.59 pounds, and a red onion that weighs 208.65 grams. There are 453.5924 grams in a pound. Which onion is heavier, and how many ounces heavier is it?

Answer
A
The red onion is 4.48 ounces heavier than the yellow onion.
B
The red onion is 7.69 ounces heavier than the yellow onion.
C
The yellow onion is 1.56 ounces heavier than the red onion.
D
The yellow onion is 2.08 ounces heavier than the red onion.

Explanation

Convert the yellow onion’s weight to grams: 0.59 × 453.5924 = 267.62 grams. It is heavier than the red onion by 267.62 − 208.65 = 58.97 grams. Since 1 ounce is about 28.35 grams, the difference is 58.97 ÷ 28.35 ≈ 2.08 ounces, so the yellow onion is 2.08 ounces heavier.
