Question

Mia's kitten weighs of 3/5 a pound. The mother cat weighs 14 times as many pounds as the kitten. How much does the mother cat weigh.

Answer 1

Answer:

8.4

Step-by-step explanation:

You must multiply 0.6 or 3/5 by 14. 6x14=84, but you must divide that by 10 which would give you a total answer of 8.4 pounds

Answer 2

The weight of the mother cat is 8$\frac{2}{5}$ pounds

The weight of the mother cat can be determined by multiplying the weight of the kitten by 14

Weight of the mother cat = weight of kitten x 14

$\frac{3}{5}$ x 14

= $\frac{42}{5}$

Convert the improper fraction to a mixed fraction

$\frac{42}{5} = 8\frac{2}{5}$ pounds
