Asmall bat weighs about 2/5 of an ounce. a small hummingbird weighs about 14/25 of an ounce. explain how to find the difference in the weights of these animals

The difference is about of an ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A small bat weighs about 2/5 of an ounce

A small hummingbird weighs about 14/25 of an ounce

step 1

Multiply 2/5 by 5/5

Remember that

5/5 is 1

so

step 2

To find the difference in the weights of these animals, subtract the weight of the small bat from the weight of the small hummingbird

Remember that

When subtract fractions with the same denominators, subtract the top numbers and put the answer over the same denominator

so

therefore

The difference is about of an ounce
