Matthew weighed 96 ounces when he was born. His baby sister, Megan weighed 7 pounds at birth. Who weighed more? Explain your reasoning
To compare the weights of Matthew and Megan, we need to convert Megan's weight from pounds to ounces.
1 pound = 16 ounces
7 pounds = 7 x 16 = 112 ounces
Therefore, Megan weighed 112 ounces at birth.
Since Megan weighed more than Matthew (112 ounces > 96 ounces), Megan was the heavier baby at birth.
