At the beginning of the week, a puppy weighed 5 1/4 pounds. During the week, the puppy gains 8 ounces. How much does the puppy weigh in pounds, at the end of the week?

5 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

8 ounces is half (1/2) of a pound

1/2 is equivalent to 2/4

So I added 5 1/4 and 2/4

Which gives us 5 3/4

the answer is 24

step-by-step explanation:

6^2 or 36

step-by-step explanation:

6000n

6×1000n

6×10^3 n

so we need 6n need to be a perfect cube

so n has to be 6^2 so that 6n is 6^3

what i'm saying is if you let n be 6^2 you have 6^3×10^3 or 60^3 which is a perfect cube
