How much weight did Cricket gain between the time she was a puppy and her 1-year check-up? Enter your answer as a decimal or simplified mixed number. Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! she went from 3 and 3/4 pounds to 12.5 pounds.
3 and 3/4 is equal to 3.75.
use your calculator to get 12.5 minus 3.75 = 8.75
she gained 8.75 pounds.
that can be expressed as:
she gained:
8.75 pounds.
8 and 3/4 pounds
35/4 pounds.
8 pounds 12 ounces.
the last one is because 1 pound = 16 ounces and 3/4 * 16 = 12.
