Answer 2

Answer:

49 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Ava's dog weighs 56 kilograms. Marty's dog weighs 7/8 as much. We are asked to find the weight of Marty's dog.

To find the weight of Marty's dog, we will multiply 56 by $\frac{7}{8}$.

$\text{Weight of Marty's dog}=56\text{ kg}\times \frac{7}{8}$

$\text{Weight of Marty's dog}=7\text{ kg}\times 7$

$\text{Weight of Marty's dog}=49\text{ kg}$

Therefore, the weight of Marty's dog is 49 kilograms.
