Answer:
8.85 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Weight at birth = 2.95 pounds
After a six months, the sloth was three times heavier than it was at birth
New weight after six months = 3 × weight at birth
= 3 × 2.95 pounds
= 8.85 pounds
New weight after six months = 8.85 pounds
The sloth weighs 8.85 pounds after six months
Answer:
9/36 = 1/4
24/32 = 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first one: divide the numerator and the denominator by 9

Answer:
(x - 5) - 8 = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets portion each part out:
Eight less than
The difference of a number and five
Is twelve.
First, we must write down the portion with "a number" in it: x - 5. We use subtraction because the sentence states "the difference".
Next, we will write down "eight less than". The problem states that twelve is "eight less than" the difference. This means that we must subtract 8 from out first part: (x - 5) - 8
Finally, the sentence tells us that this equals twelve: (x - 5) - 8 = 12
The answer is 15x-5
Hope this helps
If you want to estimate to the tens, the answer is 680
If you want to estimate to the hundreds, the answer is 700
If you want to estimate to the thousands then the answer would be not an answer
The real answer without estimating is 681
