Answer 1

10.31 pounds

Explanation:

First, we multiply 1.3 x 2 because he is gaining 1.3 for the next TWO weeks.

1.3 x 2 = 2.6

Now, add 7.71 + 2.6 because that is the weight he started with.

7.71 + 2.6 = 10.31‬

Her brother will weight 10.31 pounds if he is 7.71 lbs and continues to gain 1.3 pounds each week for two weeks.
