Anewborn baby's weight is recorded each month, from the day of birth until 12 months. one baby's weights, in pounds, are recorded below: 7.20, 9.15, 11.01, 12.56, 14.04, 15.43, 16.52, 17.68, 18.77, 19.69, 20.22, 21.05, 21.90 what is the average amount of monthly weight gain, rounded to the nearest hundredth of a pound, each month?
a. 1.13
b. 15.79
c. 1.23
d. 16.52

15.79

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average amount of monthly weight gain, we need to find the average first.

Average is defined as the sum of the values (in our case value of weight in each month) and that sum divided by the number of values (in our case it is the number of months).

Finding the average:

Since there are 13 values so we sum up all the values and divided by the number of values.

When rounded to the nearest hundredth of a pound we get 15.79 pounds.

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.
