You own a newly - born dog.Suppose the dog weighs 2kg at birth. You've known from your friend that the monthly average weight gained by the dog is 4kg.
6. Suppose that the weight increase of the dogs weight is constant and we let x be the number of months and y be the dogs weight, which of the following equations represent the given variables?
A. y = 4x B. y = x+4 C. y= 4x+4 D. y=4x+2
7. What will be the weight of the dog after 5 months?
A. 25kg B. 26kg C. 22kg D. 31 kg
Answers & Comments
Answer:
6)A.y = 4x
7)D.31kg
Step-by-step explanation:
6)5 means the monthly average weight gained by the dog
X means the months
Example:
X=3 or (3 months past when the dog was born)
y=5x
y=5(3)
y=15
so it means that the dog's weight after 3 months was 15 kg
7)So for a puppy that weighs 15 lbs at 5-months (22-weeks), his growth rate would be 15/22 = 0.68 To get his adult weight you'd multiply the growth rate by 52, i.e. 0.68 x 52 = 35.36. Based on this method, a puppy that weighs 15lbs at 5-months old would weigh about 35.36 lbs as an adult.
