    Weight of Ginger baby when it was born = 3 3/8 pounds

    = 27/8 pounds

    Weight before the baby could not leave hospital = 5 1/2 pounds

    = 11/2 pounds

    Amount of pounds gained before it can leave hospital = (11/2) - (27/8) pounds

    = (44 - 27) / 8 pounds

    = 17/8 pounds

    = 2 1/8 pounds

    So the baby must gain a weight of 2 1/8 pounds before it can leave hospital.
