Question

An adult meerkat weighs 776 grams. this is 0.747 kilograms more than the weight of a baby meerkat

Answer 1

Convert the kg into g. Multiply the 0.747kg by 1000g/1kg.

To obtain the weight of the baby meerkat, equate the weight of the baby meerkat to the difference of the weight of the adult meerkat and 747 g.

`\begin{gathered} b=a-747 \\ b=776-747 \\ b=29 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the baby meerkat weighs 29 grams.
