Question

Dinorah weighs 30.5 kg. Her dog weighs 6.1 kg. How many times as much does Dinorah weigh as her dog?

Answer 1

5 times

Explanation:

Given

`D = 30.5kg` -- Dinorah's weight

`d = 6.1kg` --- Her dog's weight

Required

Determine how much she weighs as much as her dog

To do this, we simply divide her weight by her dogs.

`n = (D)/(d)`

`n = (30.5kg)/(6.1kg)`

`n = (30.5)/(6.1)`

`n = 5`
