Rabbits are very popular domesticated animals, so popular that there are over 300 breeds of domesticated rabbits in the world. You attend a rabbit show and notice that all of the breeds vary in many characteristics, such as size, color, and fur length. You notice that there is weight information on the cages of all rabbit individuals at the show and decide to jot down data for two specific rabbit breeds (in pounds): Breed A: 10, 8, 7, 10, 9, 9, 10, 9 Breed B: 10, 12, 14, 13, 10, 15, 11, 12 In three to five sentences, 1) calculate the average weights of the two rabbit breed groups, 2) describe some factors that could contribute to the different weights seen within breeds, and 3) describe how you would track and find the growth rate of the two rabbit breeds during an investigation. (make it like a 7th grader wrote it)

To find the average weight of the two rabbit breeds, I added up the weights for each breed and then divided by the number of rabbits. For Breed A, the total weight is 10 + 8 + 7 + 10 + 9 + 9 + 10 + 9 = 72 pounds. Since there are 8 rabbits, the average weight is 72 ÷ 8 = 9 pounds. For Breed B, the total weight is 10 + 12 + 14 + 13 + 10 + 15 + 11 + 12 = 97 pounds, which makes the average weight 97 ÷ 8 = 12.125 pounds, or about 12 pounds.

The different weights in the breeds could be because of many reasons. For example, Breed A might be smaller and lighter because they are bred to be more compact, while Breed B might be larger due to their genetics or how much food they eat. Also, things like age and health can affect their weight.

To track the growth rate of the two rabbit breeds, I would measure and record each rabbit's weight every month. If I keep this data, I can see how much weight they gain over time and compare it to see which breed grows faster. This would help me understand more about how each breed develops!

To find the average weight of the rabbit breeds, I calculated Breed A's total weight as 72 pounds, so the average is 72 ÷ 8 = 9 pounds. For Breed B, the total weight is 97 pounds, making the average about 12 pounds.

The weight differences could be due to factors like genetics, diet, and age. To track their growth rate, I would weigh each rabbit every month and record the data to see how much they gain over time. This would help me compare the growth of the two breeds!
