Question

A pan with four eggs weighs 18 ounces. A pan with eight eggs weighs 24 ounces. What is the weight of the pan?(1 point)
___ oz.

Answer 1

The difference in weight between the two pans with different numbers of eggs is 24 - 18 = 6 ounces. Since each egg weighs the same amount, the weight of each egg is 6 / 4 = 1.5 ounces.

Therefore, the weight of just the pan without any eggs would be 18 - 4*1.5 = 18 - 6 = 12 ounces.

So, the weight of the pan itself is 12 ounces.
