3lbs 9 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

16 ounces in a pound

9514 1404 393

  3 lb 9 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

Sometimes, addition is easier than subtraction when it comes to finding the difference.

There are 16 ounces in a pound.

  8 lb 11 oz + 5 oz = 9 lb

  9 lb + 3 lb 4 oz = 12 lb 4 oz

To get from 8 lb 11 oz to 12 lb 4 oz, we have added ...

  5 oz + 3 lb 4 oz

  = 3 lb 9 oz . . . . weight of packing materials

__

Or, you can do the subtraction in the usual way.

  total weight = gift weight + packing weight

  packing weight = total weight - gift weight

  = (12 lb 4 oz) - (8 lb 11 oz)

  = (12 lb -8 lb) + (4 oz -11 oz)

  = 4 lb - 7 oz

  packing weight = 3 lb 9 oz

median is the value separating the higher half of a data sample, a population or probablity distribution from the lower half.

step-by-step explanation:

say you have 3,8,7,3,1,9,8 order them from lowest to highest

if orderd it would be 1,3,3,7,8,8,9 now you take away from the lowest and the highest until you end up in the middle.

so you would remove the 1 and 9 leaving you with 5 digits remaining

when you've reached the middle that would be your answer so in this case the answer is 7

if there were two numbers left say 7 and 5 you'd and them together so 12 then divide by 2 witch would equal 6 so the answer would be 6

good luck on that project hoped i you at all
