Ronald has a goldfish. His goldfish weights 12 lbs. If Ronald feeds the gold fish 2 ounces of food every hour and the fish gains 2 ounces each hour,how many pounds would ronalds goldfish weight in 5 days?How many lbs of food does the goldfish eat in a week?

This looks like a math problem.

Apparently the fish gains that same amount of weight as the food that is eaten. It seems odd that the fish will be fed every single hour during the 24-hour day, but that is the assumption I will make.

16 ounces = 1 lb.

15 + (5 * 24 * 2/16) = weight in lbs. after 5 days

7 * 24 * 2/16 = lbs. of food eaten in 7 days

I hope this helps.

To calculate the weight of Ronald's goldfish after 5 days, we need to determine the weight gained per hour and then multiply it by the number of hours in 5 days.

Given that the goldfish gains 2 ounces every hour, we can convert 2 ounces to pounds by dividing it by 16 (since there are 16 ounces in a pound). Therefore, the goldfish gains 2/16 = 0.125 pounds every hour.

To find the total weight gained in 5 days, we first need to find the number of hours in 5 days. There are 24 hours in a day, so 5 days would be 5 * 24 = 120 hours.

Now, we can calculate the weight gained in 5 days by multiplying the weight gained per hour (0.125 lbs) by the number of hours (120 hours): 0.125 * 120 = 15 pounds.

Therefore, Ronald's goldfish would weigh 12 + 15 = 27 pounds after 5 days.

Now, let's calculate the amount of food the goldfish eats in a week. We know that the goldfish consumes 2 ounces of food every hour. To find the amount of food consumed in a day, we multiply the food intake per hour by 24 (the number of hours in a day): 2 ounces/hour * 24 hours = 48 ounces/day.

Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, the goldfish consumes 48/16 = 3 pounds of food per day.

To find the amount of food consumed in a week, we multiply the daily consumption by 7 (the number of days in a week): 3 pounds/day * 7 days = 21 pounds/week.

Therefore, Ronald's goldfish eats 21 pounds of food in a week.
