A Labrador retriever weighs 48 pounds. A husky weighs 775 ounces. Which dog weighs more? By how many ounces?

The husky is heavier by 7 ounces.

Explanation:

We know that $1 pound = 16 ounces$ $1 "pound" = 16 "ounces"$

Multiply the Labrador retriever's weight by $16$ $16$ to convert it to ounces

$48 pounds \cdot 16 ounce = 768 ounces$ $48"pounds"*16"ounce"=768"ounces"$

Now we know the Husky is heavier than the Labrador.
To find out how much heavier he is just subtract the larger weight from the smaller weight.

$775 ounces - 768 ounces = 7 ounces$ $775"ounces"-768"ounces"=7"ounces"$
