Question

A baby sloth weighed 2.95 pounds when born. After a six months, the sloth was three times heavier than it was at birth. How much did the sloth weigh after six months?

Answer 1

8.85 pounds

Explanation:

Weight at birth = 2.95 pounds

After a six months, the sloth was three times heavier than it was at birth

New weight after six months = 3 × weight at birth

= 3 × 2.95 pounds

= 8.85 pounds

New weight after six months = 8.85 pounds

The sloth weighs 8.85 pounds after six months
