Answer 2

29 grams.

Explanation:

Let x grams be the weight of baby meerkat.

We have been given that an adult meerkat weighs 776 grams this is 0.747 kg more than the weight of a baby meerkat.

First of all, we will convert the 0.747 kg into grams.

1 kg = 1,000 gm

`0.747\text{ kg}=\frac{1,000\text{ gm}}{\text{ kg}}* 0.747\text{ kg}`

`0.747\text{ kg}=1,000\text{ gm}* 0.747`

`0.747\text{ kg}=747\text{ gm}`

Using our given information, we can set an equation to find baby meerkat's weight as:

`x+747=776`

`x+747-747=776-747`

`x=29`

Therefore, a baby meerkat weighs 29 grams.
