Question

Cam was bom weighing 8.6 pounds. Every day, he gained the same amount of weight. After 30 days, he weighed 14.9

Answer 1

Answer:

So I'm not entirely sure about this one, but I believe he gained 0.21 pounds each day for 30 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Cam was born weighing 8.6 pounds and after 30 days weighed 14.9, subtract 14.9-8.6 to find how much he gained.

14.9 - 8.6 = 6.3

Now that we know how much he gained, we have to find out how much he gained per day for 30 days. To do this, divide 6.3 by 30

6.3 / 30 = 0.21

To make sure this answer is correct, multiply 0.21 by 30 and add that to 8.6. It should equal 14.9.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

So first we find out how much weight Cam gained 14.9 - 8.6 = 6.3 lbs. 6.3 pounds distributed into 30 days would be, 6.3 divided by 30 is 0.21. Cam gained 0.21 lbs every day.
