Answer:

The answer is option (A), about 40 and one half pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determine the initial weight of the dog

Initial weight of dog=42 8/9 pounds

Step 2: Calculate weight after gain

Weight after gain=Initial weight+additional weight gain

where;

Initial weight=42 8/9 pounds

Additional weight gain=3 1/2 pounds

replacing;

Weight after gain=(3 1/2)+(42 8/9)=7/2+386/9=46 7/18

Weight after gain=46 7/18 pounds

Step 3: Calculate weight after you put him on a diet

Weight after diet=Weight after gain-weight lost after diet

where;

Weight after gain=46 7/18 pounds

Weight lost after diet=6 7/16 pounds

replacing;

Weight after diet=(46 7/18)-(6 7/16)=(835/18)-(103/16)=39 137/144 pounds

Weight after diet= About 40 and one half pounds
