For the following subtraction problems 17t 13lb 3oz - 9t 20lb 9oz the output is  oz = 7 T 1992 lb 12 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first consider that

1 T = 2,000 lb

1 lb = 16 oz

Here we will convert all the measure units to oz, subtracted the amounts, and finally converted the units back to their original ones.

17t 13lb 3oz - 9t 20lb 9oz (The equation given to us)

It can be rewritten as

=17 T or (2,000 lb*17) + 13 lb + 3 oz) - (9 T or (2,000 lb*9) + 20 lb + 9 oz)

= (34,013 lb or (16 oz *34,013) + 3 oz) - (18,020 lb or (16 oz *18,020) + 9 oz)

= 544,213  oz - 288,329  oz = 255,884  

oz = 7 T 1992 lb 12 oz
