Question

Mia’s dog weighs 120 pounds and her cat weighs 8 pounds. How many times as much does the dog weigh as the cat

Answer 1

The dog is 15 times the weight of the cat.

Explanation:

Divide 120 by 8 it gives you 15.

The reason why is because we are calculating how much heavier the dog is than the cat, so you divide the cats weight into the dogs weight giving you 15.
