Question

At the beginning of the week, a puppy weighed 5 1/4 pounds. During the week, the puppy gains 8 ounces.

How much does the puppy weigh in pounds, at the end of the week?​

Answer 1

5 3/4

Explanation:

8 ounces is half (1/2) of a pound

1/2 is equivalent to 2/4

So I added 5 1/4 and 2/4

Which gives us 5 3/4
