Answer:

The baby weighed 14.5 pounds at the end of 8 months

Explanation:

Proportions

We know a baby weighed 7.25 pounds at birth.

It's given at the end of 8 months, the baby weighed twice its birth weight.

This means the baby weighed 2*7.25 = 14.5 pounds at the end of 8 months.

The baby weighed 14.5 pounds at the end of 8 months
