Gina's kitten weighs 5 ounces. Of the kitten gains 3 ounces every week, how many ounces will the kitten weigh in 6 weeks?

Answer: 23 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The weight of Gin a's kitten = 5 ounces

Weight gain by kitten in each week = 3 ounces

If the kitten gains 3 ounces each week, then the weight of kitten in x weeks = (Initial weight) + 3 (x)

= 5 + 3x

At x = 6, we have

5+3 (6) = 5+18=23

Thus, in 6 weeks, the kitten weighs 23 ounces.
