Question

Gina's kitten weighs 5 ounces. If the kitten gains 3 ounces every week, how many ounces will the kitten weigh in 6 weeks?​

Answer 1

23 ounces

Explanation:

Equation: 5+ 3x=y

5+ 3(6)=y

5+ 18=y

23=y

Answer 2

23 oz

Explanation:

We must multiply 6 by 3 because the kitten gains 3 ounces every week for 6 weeks.

6x3=18

Now we add the amount the kitten already was from the beginning.

18+5=23
