Question

An African elephant weighed 209 lbs when it was born. Baby elephants gain an average of 38 lbs per week.

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A: W= (1197- 209)/ 38

Part B: 26 Weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

We first need to subtract the 209lbs from the goal of 1197lbs. Now we have how many pounds we need to gain. Then we need to divide it by how many pounds we are gaining a week. Now we have how many weeks it will take

Part B:

W= (1197- 209)/ 38

W= 988/ 38

W= 26
