Answer 2

Explanation:

We have been given that Ava's dog weighs 56 kilograms. Marty's dog weighs 7/8 as much. We are asked to find the weight of Marty's dog.

To find the weight of Marty's dog, we will multiply 56 by
`(7)/(8)`.

`\text{Weight of Marty's dog}=56\text{ kg}* (7)/(8)`

`\text{Weight of Marty's dog}=7\text{ kg}* 7`

`\text{Weight of Marty's dog}=49\text{ kg}`

Therefore, the weight of Marty's dog is 49 kilograms.
