Question

At the Pet fair,Darlene dog weighed 5 times as much as Leah’s dog.Togther,the dogs weighed 84 pounds.How much did each dog weigh?

Answer 1

We can write an equation. Set the weight of Leah's dog as "d".

So: d+5d=84

6d=84

d=84/6=14 pounds

14 pounds is your answer...

Answer 2

16.8 for Leah’s dog. I think 68.2 for Darlene’s dog
