Answer:
- The baby must gain 2 1/8 more pounds before he/she can go to Ginger's house.
- 11/2 - 27/8 = Required pounds for the baby to gain
- => 44/8 - 27/8 = Required pounds for the baby to gain
- => 17/8 = Required pounds for the baby to gain
- => 2 1/8 = Required pounds for the baby to gain
Hence, the baby must gain 2 1/8 more pounds before he/she can go to Ginger's house.
