Question

The chart shows the weight of a puppy. How much weight did the puppy gain between Week 1 and Week 4?

Answer 1

heres the chart

Answer 2

subtract the two quantities....
week4: \(\large 3\frac{2}{8} \)
week1: \(\large 2\frac{3}{8} \)

so amount gain = week4 - week1 = \(\large 3\frac{2}{8} -2\frac{3}{8} =\) ????

Answer 3

so it would be 1 1/0

Answer 4

no.... you'll need to "borrow" a 1 from the 3 and so now you'll have:
\(\large 3\frac{2}{8} -2\frac{3}{8} =2\frac{10}{8} -2\frac{3}{8}= \)???

Answer 5

it would be 7

Answer 6

7/8... you're subtracting fractions so don't forget the denominator....
