Baseball's great Babe Ruth used a baseball bat that weighed 3 pounds 6 ounces during part of his career. Most major-league players today use a baseball bat that weighs about 31 ounces. How much heavier was Babe Ruth's baseball bat than a current major-league player's bat?
16 ounces = 1 lb, so you must convert 3 lbs to ounces, add 6 ounces to it (now you have Babe ruth's baseball bat in ounces) and then find the difference.
A 11 ounces B 1 pound 7 ounces C 1 pound 11 ounces
can u help me
so, to find the difference, you need to convert to ounces first. so 3*16
18
its 48
3* 16 =/= 18.
I mean 48
k, now you add 6 for the weight of babe's bat in ounces
54
no 55
now you find the difference, so 54 -31 = what you want
23
good. thats all there is to it.
11 ounces 1 pound 7 ounces 1 pound 11 ounces
these r the answers
ok, so we have 23 ounces, subtract 16 (1lb) and then you get 1 lb 7 ounces.
