Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

12 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

The baby weighed 8 pounds at birth which means this was the babys original weight. If the baby's weight increased by 50%, it will be 50% of 8 pounds plus the 8 pounds. The percentage 50% iin fraction form is:

$50/100$

50% of 8 pounds is:

$=(50/100)\cdot{8}=400/100=4$

To get the final weight, we must add 4 to the original weight of 8 pound:

$4+8=12$

Answer 2

Answer: It would weigh 12 lbs because 50% of 8 is 4 and 4 + 8 = 12 lbs.
