Question 728232: Of a baby weighs 8 llbs 3 oz and he is supposed to gain 4 llbs each week how much would he way in 28 days
Answer by ohtheirony(35)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Well, there are 16 ounces in a pound. If we convert the 8 pounds, 3 ounces, we get 131 ounces.
4 pounds is 64 ounces.
28 days=4 weeks
So, our equation would be...
o=131+x(w) ; o=ounces after weeks, x=weight gained per week, w=number of weeks
If we put this information in and solve the problem:
o=131+64(4)
o=131+256
o=387
So, the baby will be 387 ounces, or 24 pounds, 3 ounces.
