Question

Omar is born weighing 8 pounds 3 ounces. The doctor says that he will grow 5 ounces each week

Answer 1

Weight of Omar after 4 weeks is 9.4375 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of Omar at the time of birth = 8 pound 3 ounces

The doctor says he should gain 5 ounces per week for the next 4 weeks.

Weight gained by Omar in 4 weeks = 5 × 4 = 20 ounces

New weight of Omar = (8 lb 3 ounces) + 20 ounces = 8 lb + 23 oz

Now we will convert ounces to pounds.

16 ounces = 1 pound

23 ounces =23/16 = 1.4375 pound  

Now total weight of Omar after 4 weeks = 8 lb + 23 oz

                                                                      ≈ 8 lb + (1.4375) lb

                                                                      ≈ 9.4375 pounds

Weight of Omar after 4 weeks is 9.4375 pound
