Question

Eva's new bunny weighted 1 7/8 pounds when she first got him 4 weeks ago. Now he weighs 2 1/4 pounds. How much weight has Eva's dog actually gained

Answer 1

Answer: Eva's dog actually gained 3/8 pounds ( 0.375pounds)

Explanation:

Step 1

Given that

old weight = 1 7/8 pounds

New weight = 2 1/4 pounds

weight gained = New weight - Old weight

Step 2

weight gained = New weight - Old weight

2 1/4 pounds - 1 7/8 pounds

2.25 pounds - 1.875 pounds

0.375pounds = 3/8 pounds
