Question

Gina’s kitten weighs 5 ounces. Of the kitten gains 3 ounces every week, how many ounces will the kitten weigh in 6 weeks?

Answer 2

Answer: 23 ounces.

Explanation:

Given : The weight of Gin a's kitten = 5 ounces

Weight gain by kitten in each week = 3 ounces

If the kitten gains 3 ounces each week , then the weight of kitten in x weeks = (Initial weight)+ 3 (x)

= 5 +3x

At x= 6 , we have

5+3(6)= 5+18=23

Thus , in 6 weeks , the kitten weighs 23 ounces.
