Question

Puppy weighed 3 1/2 pounds last week this week he weighs 6 1/4 pounds how much weight has he gained

Answer 1

Answer:

11/4 or , 2 3/4                    

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't like math so I am not going to call it fun, but these problems are super easy for me, so it almost IS fun.

4/4 = 2/2 because they are both wholes.

2/4 = 1/2 because they are both halves.

Now, if we split one of the numbers down, we will get one of these.

6 1/4

6 x 4 because there are 6 wholes...= 24

then 24 plus 1 because there is still one fourth...=25

25/4

Now, 3 1/2 pounds.

Lets change it  to fourths. 3 2/4

Now, 3 x 4, 12, then 12 plus 2 equals 14/4

Now compare your numbers.
