Question

Heather's puppy weighs 23 pounds. He has been gaining (3 pounds every month as he grows. If this pattern continues, how much will the puppy weigh 5 months from now?

Answer 1

It will be 5x3=15+23=38 so 38 pounds the puppy weigh

Answer 2

The total would be 38. Because you have to add 3 every month and the question ask you to add 5 months it will have to be 3x5 or 3+3+3+3+3, which would equal 15, now you just add what it oringally weighted (in this case 23) to the weight after 5 months which would have to be (23+15) 38 pounds.
