a dog weighs 8 times as many as his cat. together the two pets weigh 54 pounds. how much does the dog weigh?

Respuesta :

54/9=6
the dog weighs 6*8 is 48 pounds
and the cat weighs 6 pounds
the cat would weigh 6.75 pounds because 54( the total weight)divided by 8( the dog's weight) equals 6.75( the cat's weight)
