Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the difference between the weight of Jerry's fish and Pat's fish, we need to subtract the weight of Pat's fish from Jerry's fish.

Jerry's fish = 1 11ebb63d_1c19_4343_b851_3d47b9bd7ecd_TB8475_11 pounds 
Pat's fish = 11ebb63d_1c19_4344_b851_efc433fbb3ae_TB8475_11 pounds

Subtracting Pat's fish from Jerry's fish gives us:

1 11ebb63d_1c19_4343_b851_3d47b9bd7ecd_TB8475_11 pounds - 11ebb63d_1c19_4344_b851_efc433fbb3ae_TB8475_11 pounds = 11ebb63d_1c19_6a57_b851_4714580c0e2f_TB8475_11 pounds

Therefore, the correct answer is C. To find the difference in weight, we subtract Pat's fish weight from Jerry's fish weight:

1 11ebb63d_1c19_4343_b851_3d47b9bd7ecd_TB8475_11 - 11ebb63d_1c19_4344_b851_efc433fbb3ae_TB8475_11 = 11ebb63d_1c19_6a57_b851_4714580c0e2f_TB8475_11

Therefore, the answer is C.
