Answer:the same dog would weigh 10.71 pounds on Neptune

Explanation:

An object that weighs 1 pound on earth weighs 1.19 pounds on Neptune.

Suppose her dog weighs 9 pounds on earth, let x represent the weight of her dog in Neptune. Therefore

1 pound on earth = 1.19 pounds on Neptune

9 pounds on earth = x pounds on Neptune.

Cross multiplying, it becomes

x × 1 = 9 × 1.19

x = 10.71 pounds
