Kittens weigh about 100 grams when born and gain 7 to 15 grams per day.If a kitten weighed 100 grams at birth and gained 8 grams per day,in how many days will the kitten triple its weight?

The answer should be 25 days. If the kitten is 100 grams at birth, gains 8 grams a day and the goal weight is 300 grams, then you need to subtract 100 from 300 so you have 200. Then divide 200 by 8 grams per day which will equal 25 days.
