Roberto's puppy weighs 4.5 pounds at the end of May. During June and July the puppy weighed 18.63 pounds. How much did Roberto's puppy weigh at the end of July?

Question

I thought about about dividing 18.63 by 2 and hopefully subtract to get 4.5

Answer 1

Why do you want to get 4.5?

18.63 + 4.5 = 23.13 pounds at the end of July.
