Question

The baby giraffe weighed 132 pounds at
birth. He gained weight at a steady rate for
the first 7 months until his weight reached
538 pounds. How much did he gain each
month?​

Answer 1

Answer: 58lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the difference between 132 and 538. You can do this by subtracting.

 538

----------

 406

Now divide this by the amount of months.

406/7=58

Therefore, he gained 58lbs each month.
