A baby boy weighed 8 lb. 6 oz. at birth. After two weeks, his weight was increased by 14 oz. What was the baby’s weight when he was two weeks old?
8 lbs 6 oz + 14 oz = 8 lbs 20 oz.
16 oz = 1 lb so that would be 9 lbs 4 oz.
Well, it sounds like this baby boy really takes his weight seriously, huh? Okay, let's do some math.
First, we convert pounds to ounces since we want the weight in one unit. One pound equals 16 ounces, so the baby's birth weight of 8 pounds is equal to 8 x 16 ounces, which is 128 ounces.
Now, after two weeks, his weight increased by 14 ounces. So we just add those 14 ounces to his birth weight. Adding 14 ounces to 128 ounces gives us a total weight of "math drumroll" 142 ounces!
So, when this baby boy was two weeks old, he weighed 142 ounces. Remember, he's not trying to win a weightlifting competition, he's just being a cute little baby.
To determine the baby's weight when he was two weeks old, we need to add the weight gained in two weeks to his initial birth weight.
First, let's convert the birth weight to ounces since the weight gained is given in ounces.
1 pound = 16 ounces
So, the baby's birth weight is 8 lb 6 oz = (8 * 16) + 6 = 134 ounces.
Now, adding the weight gained in two weeks, which is 14 oz, to the birth weight:
134 ounces + 14 ounces = 148 ounces.
Therefore, the baby's weight when he was two weeks old was 148 ounces.
To determine the baby boy's weight when he was two weeks old, we'll need to add the weight increase of 14 oz to his birth weight of 8 lb. 6 oz.
To do this, we'll first need to convert the birth weight from pounds and ounces into a single unit of measure. Since there are 16 ounces in 1 pound, we can convert the 8 lb. to ounces by multiplying it by 16. This gives us 8 lb. x 16 oz/lb. = 128 oz.
Next, we can add the 14 ounces weight increase to the converted birth weight of 128 oz.
128 oz. (birth weight) + 14 oz. (weight increase) = 142 oz.
Therefore, the baby boy's weight when he was two weeks old was 142 ounces.
