at three weeks old sams puppy weighed 2 pounds when the puppy if tyhe puupy continues to grow at this rate how much will it wiegh when it is 12 weeks old. block 3 test was 7 weeks old he wighed 4 pounds

Answer 1

Answer:

6.5 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the puppy is 2 pounds when they are weighed at 3 weeks old

and the puppy is 4 pounds at 7 weeks old

you would have to figure out how many pounds he gained between week 3 and week 7

so at week 3 he was 2 pounds and week 7 he was 4 pounds that would mean he gains .5 pounds a week

and you want to know how much he would weigh at 12 weeks

so you would subtract the weeks you already know

which would be 3 weeks

so subtract 12 - 3

which equals 9

and 9 times .5 is 4.5

then you add the already known weight which is 2 pounds

and you get 6.5 pounds.
