Jackson gained $29$ $29$ ounces in $4$ $4$ weeks.

Explanation:

Jackson Weighed $6$ $6$ pounds and $3$ $3$ ounces.

We know that $1$ $1$ pound $= 16$ $=16$ ounces
$\Rightarrow 6$ $implies 6$ pounds $= 16 \cdot 6$ $=16*6$ ounces $= 96$ $=96$ ounces

$\Rightarrow$ $implies$ Jackson weighed $(96 + 3)$ $(96+3)$ ounces $= 99$ $=99$ ounces

In $4$ $4$ weeks, Jackson weighed $128$ $128$ ounces.

$\Rightarrow$ $implies$ Jackson gained $(128 - 99)$ $(128-99)$ ounces $= 29$ $=29$ ounces
