Answer:

The weight of the baby at the end of the 8 months was 18.125lbs.

Explanation:

The weight of baby at birth = 7.25 lb

At the end of 8 months, the baby weighed 2.5 times its birth weight.

We need to find the weight of the baby at the end of 8 months.


(2)/(5) =
(4+1)/(2) =
(5)/(2)

The weight of the baby at the end of 8 months is 5/2 times of its initial weight.

Total weight = 7.25 x
(5)/(2)

Total weight = 18.125

Solution:

Therefore, the weight of baby at the end of 8 month is 18.125 lbs.
