Answer 1

Amy's puppy gains weight faster

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to compare the weights of David's puppy and Amy's puppy

when age = 1 months

Weight of David's puppy = 8.2 pounds

Weight of Amy's puppy = 139 ounces

Conversion from ounces to pounds:

1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds

139 ounces = 139(0.0625) = 8.6875 pounds

when age = 2 months

Weight of David's puppy = 16.4 pounds

Weight of Amy's puppy = 278 ounces

278 ounces = 278(0.0625) = 17.375 pounds

when age = 3 months

Weight of David's puppy = 24.6

Weight of Amy's puppy = 417 ounces

417 ounces = 417(0.0625) = 26.0625 pounds

Difference in weight in pounds for David:

16.4 - 8.2 = 8.2, 24.6 - 16.4 = 8.2

Difference in weight in pounds for Amy:

17.375 - 8.6875 = 8.6875

26.0625 - 17.375 = 8.6875

From the above, there is an increase of 8.2 pounds for David's puppy and an increase of 8.6875 for Amy's puppy.

Since 8.6875 > 8.2, Amy's puppy gains weight faster
