Given

Roast beef = 1 pound and 11 ounces

Corned beef = 2 pounds and 5 ounces

Find how much more corned beef did Marsha buy than roast beef.

Solution

First, convert pounds to ounces

1 pounds = 16 ounces

2 pounds = 32 ounces

Roast Beef 16 ounces + 11 ounces = 27 ounces

Corned Beef 32 ounces + 5 ounces = 37 ounces

37 - 27 = 10 ounces

The answer is 10 ounces
