Question

The baby giraffe weighed 132 pounds at birth. He gained weight at a steady rate for the first 7 months until his weight reached 538 pounds.

How much did he gain each month?

Answer 1

Answer: 77 pounds each month I think

Explanation:

Answer 2

58 pounds.

Explanation:

First, we have to to take away the weight at birth from the current weight. This is so we can actually see what he has gained from his birth onward.

538 - 132 = 406

Next, divide 406 by the number of months, so we can see how much weight he gained each month.

406 / 7 = 58.

I hope this helped!
