A baby weighs 7 pounds, 4 ounces at birth and 7 pounds, I ounce at discharge. What percent of weight did the baby lose
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

2.6%

Explanation:

As, 1 ounce (oz) =  0.0625 pounds (lb)

Therefore, weight of baby at discharge = 7 lb,1 oz = 7+0.0625 lb = 7.0625 lb

Since, 1 oz =  0.0625 lb

⇒ 4 oz = 4×0.0625 = 0.25 lb

Therefore, weight of baby at birth = 7 lb,4 oz = 7+0.25 lb = 7.25 lb

The <u>amount of weight lost</u> is equal to the difference of weight of the baby at birth and discharge.

Therefore, <u>weight lost</u> = 7.25 lb - 7.0625 lb = <u>0.1875 lb</u>

Now, the <u>percentage of weight lost</u> by the baby is given by the amount of weight lost divided by the weight of the baby at birth.

Therefore, <u>the percentage of weight los</u>t = weight lost ÷ weight at birth = 0.1875 lb ÷ 7.25 lb × 100 = <u>2.6% </u>

Carbon and oxygen combine to form carbon dioxide. What are the products, or what is the product, in this chemical reaction?
VladimirAG [237]

The product in this chemical reaction is Carbon Dioxide or CO2.

This is because it states, "To form," which means that it was produced from the reactants Carbon and Oxygen.

To know what the products are in a statement rather than an equation, words such as produced and formed are used.

Hope this helps!
