Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

58 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to to take away the weight at birth from the current weight. This is so we can actually see what he has gained from his birth onward.

538 - 132 = 406

Next, divide 406 by the number of months, so we can see how much weight he gained each month.

406 / 7 = 58.

I hope this helped!
