Question

The weight of an elephant is 10 to the third times the weight of a cat. If the elephant weighs 14,000 pounds how many pounds does the cat weigh how did you find your answer

Answer 1

14 pounds because 14000 pounds = 10^{3} * C where C is the cat. 14000 divided by 10^3is 14

Answer 2

cat weight = 14,000 / 10^3
= 14,000 / 10000
= 14 pounds
