Answer:
The weight of baby at the end of 8 month is 18.125 lb.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given information:
The weight of baby at birth = 7.25 lb
At the end of 8 months, the baby weighed [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex] times its birth weight.
We need to find the weight of baby at the end of 8 month.
[tex]2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{4+1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
The weight of baby at the end of 8 month is 5/2 times of its initial weight.
[tex]\text{Total weight}=7.25\times \frac{5}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Total weight}=18.125[/tex]
Therefore the weight of baby at the end of 8 month is 18.125 lb.
