Question

Aleta's puppy gained 3/8 pound each week for 4 weeks. Altogether, how much weight did the puppy gain during the 4 weeks?

Answer 1

You need to multiply 3/8 by 4

Answer 2

It would be 1 1/2 or 1.5 pounds in total

3/8 as a decimal is .375 (divide 3 by 8)

Then you multiply .375 by 4 then you get 1.5 or 1/ 1/2.
