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

Answer 1

16 ounces = 1 pound

2x16 + 3 = 35

56 - 35 = 21

21 ounces

Answer 2

STEP 1:
Convert original weight to ounces
1 pound= 16 ounces

Original weight= 2 lbs 3 oz
2 pounds * 16 ounces= 32 oz

Add in 3 oz
=32 oz + 3 oz
= 35 oz. original weight

STEP 2:
subtract original weight from new weight to find weight gained

=56 oz - 35 oz
=21 oz weight gain

STEP 3:
Find pounds and ounces of weight gained. Divide total ounces gained by 16 ounces per pound.
1 pound= 16 oz

=21 oz ÷ 16 oz
= 1 5/16
= 1 lb 5 oz weight gained

ANSWER: The kitten gained 1 lb 5 oz (or 21 ounces).
