Question

As a puppy, Cricket weighed 334 pounds. At her 1-year check-up with the vet, Cricket weighed 12.5 pounds.

Answer 1

The weight gained by Cricket within the 1-year period would be 8.75 or 8 3/4 pounds.

• Cricket weighed 3 3/4 pounds initially and 12.5 pounds after one year.

• In order to calculate the weight gained within the said period, the initial weight would be subtracted from the final weight.

Thus:

Weight gained = 12.5 - 3 3/4

                         = 12.5 - 3.75 or 12 1/2 - 3 3/4

                            =  8.75 or 8 3/4
