A monkey is born weighing 48 ounces at birth and after a year weighs 14 pounds. What is the monkey's growth rate per day? Round to the hundredths if needed. Note that there are 16 ounces in every 1 pound.​

Respuesta :

The monkey's growth rate per day rounded to the nearest hundredth is;

0.03 pounds per day

  • To solve this we need to convert first the monkey's weight at birth to pounds from ounces.

  • Weight of monkey at birth = 48 ounces = 48/16 pounds = 3 pounds
  • Weight of monkey a year after birth = 14 pounds

  • Now, the difference in weight after a year = 14 - 3 = 11 pounds.

There are 365 days in a year and therefore, the increase in weight per day will be;

Rate of increase in weight per day = 11/365 = 0.03 pounds per day

In conclusion, the monkey's growth per day = 0.03 pounds per day
