A pan with four eggs weighs 18 ounces. A pan with eight eggs weighs 24 ounces.

What is the weight of the pan?

1 answer

To find the weight of the pan, we need to first determine the weight of one egg.

18 ounces for 4 eggs means each egg is 18/4 = 4.5 ounces.

24 ounces for 8 eggs means each egg is 24/8 = 3 ounces.

Now, we can find the weight of the pan by subtracting the weight of the eggs from the total weight of the pan:

Total weight of the pan - Total weight of the eggs = Weight of the pan
Weight of the pan - 4.5 ounces x 4 eggs = 18 ounces
Weight of the pan - 18 ounces = 18 ounces
Weight of the pan = 18 ounces + 18 ounces
Weight of the pan = 36 ounces

Therefore, the weight of the pan is 36 ounces.
