Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A baby weighing less than 5 pounds, 8 ounces (2500 grams) at birth is considered to have a low birth weight. Therefore, Rachel's baby, who weighed 5 pounds, 3 ounces, is a low birth-weight baby. He is not a high birth-weight baby because babies who weigh more than 8 pounds, 13 ounces (4000 grams) at birth are considered high birth-weight babies. It is not specified in the question whether the baby was born prematurely or not, so we cannot assume that he is a premature baby.
