How much did Jayden’s puppy weigh at 16 weeks old?

Respuesta :

Answer:

18.75 or 18 3/4 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

We just have to multiply 11 1/4 and 1 2/3 to get the product, 18.75 or 18 3/4.

First we have to translate our fractions into decimals:

11.25 (11 1/4) and 1.166667 (1 2/3)

multiply:

11.25 x 1.166667 = 18.75

convert back to fraction:

18 3/4
