Mrs. Khan is mailing 2 packages. Subtract 623 - 312 best describe how to find out how much heavier the larger package is. Hence Option C is correct

Solution:

Given that

Mrs khan is mailing two packages.

Weight of larger package = 623 pounds

Weight of small package = 312 pounds

Now we need to find how much heavier larger package compare to smaller one is.

To get this if we remove weight of smaller package from larger package, we will get how much larger package is heavier.

That is Weight of larger package - Weight of smaller package = 623 pounds - 312 pounds

Hence option C) subtract 623 - 312 best describe how to find out how much heavier the larger package is.
