Emma weighed 6 pounds, 9 ounces when she was born. If her weight doubled by the time she was six months old, how much did she weigh then?
2 * 6 pounds and 9 ounces = 12 pounds, 18 ounces = 13 pounds 2 ounces
13 pounds & 2 ounces
is equal to 5.941 kilograms.
To find out how much Emma weighed when she was six months old, we first need to convert her birth weight from pounds and ounces to a single unit of measure. Let's convert 6 pounds, 9 ounces into pounds.
There are 16 ounces in one pound, so we divide 9 ounces by 16 to find out how many pounds it is.
9 ounces / 16 = 0.5625 pounds (rounded to four decimal places)
Now we add this to her birth weight of 6 pounds to find her total birth weight in pounds.
6 pounds + 0.5625 pounds = 6.5625 pounds
Next, we know that Emma's weight doubled by the time she was six months old. Therefore, we can multiply her birth weight by 2 to find out her weight at six months.
6.5625 pounds * 2 = 13.125 pounds
So, Emma would weigh approximately 13.125 pounds when she turned six months old.
