Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to find out how many ounces are lost 1 day of hibernation.
If you don't know how to do that, we need to divide. 10 / 10 = 1 (if you divide ten into ten groups all the groups will have one) and since it's a ratio table, you have to divide the other side to make it equal. 0.2 / 10 = 0.02 (A quick tip to divide decimals by 10, just move one decimal to the left, for example 1.1 / 10 = 0.11 (or .11, in my opinion it's easier to add the zero, because it makes it more clear it's 0.11 and not 11) ! Well, the tip wasn't really quick but you get the point)
So, one day of hibernation is -0.02 oz lost, which means we just have to multiply it by 125! You might think it's hard, but here - let's do some multiplication, it's not as hard as you think!
125
x 2
----------
If you say, where's the decimal? We'll get to that later.
1
125
x 2
----------
250
you can also do:
1
125
+ 125
---------
250
If multiplication is too hard! And now, for the decimal. There is 1 decimal: 0.02
The decimal is 2 digits to the right (yes, the dot/decimal is actually 1 digit to the right, but there's another zero- which replaces the tenths zone)
We need to move 250's decimal 2 digits to the left.
250 (.)
25 (.)
2.5
Now, it's 2.5! Your answer is -2.5 oz per 125 days.
Basically, we just did 10 / 10 days = 1 day, then 1 day x 125 days = 125 days, and we need to do the same with the other side- which equaled -2.5 oz.
