Question

14. A veterinarian tells Max that his cat

should lose no more than 30 ounces. The
veterinarian suggests that the cat should
0 to
lose 7 ounces or less per week. What is the
shortest time in weeks and days it would
take Max's cat to lose the 30 ounces?

Answer 1

4 weeks 2 days

Explanation:

First do 30 divided by 7 to get the number of weeks.

Which is 4 weeks with a remainder of 2.

7 ounces per week is 1 ounce per day.

So to get 2 more ounces that would be 2 days.

Therefore the answer is 4 weeks and 2 days.

Answer 2

4 weeks 2 days
