Question

Kittens weigh about 100 g when born and gain 7 to 15 g per day. If a kitten weighed 100 g at birth and gained 8 grams per day, in how many days will the kitten triple it's weight?

Answer 1

Here's the steps how to do this:

100 grams at birth, and were trying to get to triple that, or 300.

300g/8g per day=37.5

37.5 days

Hope this helps, Jesus loves you.

Answer 2

triple its weight

3*100 = 300

300 = 100 +8d

subtract 100 from each side

200 = 8d

divide by 8

d=25

it will take 25 days to triple its birth weight
