A shipment includes three boxes. The first box weighs 10 pounds, the second box weighs 160 ounces, and the third box weighs 0.1 tons. Can you determine which box is the heaviest? Also, how much heavier is the heaviest box compared to the lightest one?

The first box weighs

10 pounds

The second box weighs

160 ounces

The third box weighs

0.1 tons

Convert the weights to pounds:

First box = 10 pounds (already in pounds)

The second box = 160 ounces. Since 1 pound = 16 ounces, 160 ounces is \$160 / 16 = 10\$ pounds.

Third box = 0.1 tons. Since 1 ton = 2000 pounds, 0.1 tons is 0.1 * 2000 = 200 pounds.

So, the weights in pounds are:

First box = 10 pound

Second box = 10 pounds

Third box = 200 pounds

The heaviest box among the three is the third box, which weighs 200 pounds.

To find out how much heavier the heaviest box is compared to the lightest one:

Heaviest box weight - Lightest box weight = 200 pounds - 10 pounds = 190 pounds

The heaviest box is 190 pounds heavier than the lightest one.
