Question

Jackson kitten weighed 2 pounds 3 ounces a month later the kitten weighed 56 ounces. How munch weight did the kitten gain in that month. How many ounces did the kitten gain

Answer 1

Answer: 21 ounces

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that Jackson kitten weighed 2 pounds 3 ounces a month. We should note that 16 ounces = 1 pound.

Therefore we'll convert 2 pounds, 3 ounces to ounces. This will be:

= (2 × 16 ounces) + 3 ounces

= 32 ounces + 3 ounces

= 35 ounces

We are further told that later the kitten weighed 56 ounces.

The amount of weight gained by the kitten in that month will be:

= 56 ounces - 35 ounces

= 21 ounces
