Answer: 21 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are told that Jackson kitten weighed 2 pounds 3 ounces a month. We should note that 16 ounces = 1 pound.
Therefore we'll convert 2 pounds, 3 ounces to ounces. This will be:
= (2 × 16 ounces) + 3 ounces
= 32 ounces + 3 ounces
= 35 ounces
We are further told that later the kitten weighed 56 ounces.
The amount of weight gained by the kitten in that month will be:
= 56 ounces - 35 ounces
= 21 ounces
