Answer:

Puppy 1 = 8.6 ounces

Puppy 2 = 9.4 ounces

Puppy 3 = 8.5 ounces

Explanation:

Weights of 3 puppies at one week old were

Puppy 1 = 6.5​ ounces

Puppy 2 = 7.3​ ounces

Puppy 3 = 6.4 ounces

Each puppy gained 2.1​ ounces

Puppy 1 = 6.5​ ounces + 2.1 ounces

Puppy 2 = 7.3​ ounces + 2.1 ounces

Puppy 3 = 6.4 ounces + 2.1 ounces

New weight

Puppy 1 = 8.6 ounces

Puppy 2 = 9.4 ounces

Puppy 3 = 8.5 ounces

If the puppies each gained 2.1 ounces, the new weight is given above
