    Answer: The weight of a baby at 16 weeks will be 15.02 pounds.

    Explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question we simply have to replace y=16 (number of weeks) in the equation given:

    y = 6.7 + 0.52t

    Replacing with the value given:

    y = 6.7 + 0.52 (16)

    Solving for y (weight)

    y = 6.7+8.32

    y = 15.02

    The weight of a baby at 16 weeks will be 15.02 pounds.

    Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
