Question

Sammy’s Dog had 4 puppies. When Sammy weighed all of the puppies together, they weighed 3 pounds 4 ounces. Since all of the puppies are about the same size, about how much does each puppy weigh?

Answer 1

They weigh 13 ounces each

Explanation:

16 ounces(oz) = 1 lb

3 x 16 = 48

Turn 3 pounds into ounces so its easier to find the answer

48 + 4 = 52 oz Add the ounces together

52 / 4 = 13 oz each Divide to find the weight of 4 puppies
