Question

The equation w= 3.1g + 6 can be used to estimate w, the weight of a puppy in ounces that

is g weeks old.
Based on the equation, which statement compares the expected weight of a 1-week old
puppy to the weight of a newborn puppy?

Answer 1

• w=3.1g+6

Put g=1

• w=3.1(1)+6
• w=3.1+6
• w=9.1N

Answer 2

Solution given:

the equation is:

w=3.1g+6

where

w=weight

g=weeks old

we have

g=1-week old

New equation becomes

w=3.1*1+6=9.1

the weight of a newborn baby is 9.1N.
