ox is 6 times the weight of tiny, yet tiny can lift ox even when he's holding 80 pounds. tiny is holding up 410 pounds right now (ox plus 80 lbs). How much does tiny weigh.

Answer:

55

Explanation:

Find the weight of OX:

If Tiny is carrying 410 pounds, 80 of which are not Ox, then subtract the 80 from the 410.

410-80=330

Now divide the weight of Ox by six, since he weighs six times more than Tiny.

330/6=55

Therefore Tiny is 55 Pounds.

I hope this helps!!
