Question

Kittens weigh about 100 grams when born and gain 7 to 15 grams per day. If a kitten weighed 100 grams at birth and gained 8 grams per day, in how many days will the kitten triple its weight

Answer 1

25 days

First, start with an equation

100+8x= kittens weight

(X representing the days)

Since you’re trying to figure out the number of days it takes the kitten to triple it’s weigh you multiply it’s initial weight by 3 (100•3)

Then, you output 300 into the equation and solve
