Question

The weight of an elephant is 10 to the 3rd power times the weight of a cat if the elephant weighs 14000 pounds how many pounds does a cat weigh

Answer 1

if you make that into an equation, make cat the variable "c":
(10^3)c=14000
10 to the power of 3 would be 10*10*10 which equals 1000.
that means 1000 times the cat's weight equals 14000.
divide 14000 by 1000 to get the cat's weight, which would be 14.

Answer 2

 To calculate the weight of the cat form an expression relating the weight of the elephant and the weight of the cat.

By solving the expression, weight of the cat will be 14 pounds.

 Let the weight of the cat = c pounds

 And the weight of an elephant = e pounds

Statement given in the question is, "Weight of an elephant is 10 to the 3rd power times of the weight of a cat"

 Therefore, expression will be → e = c × 10³

If the weight of the elephant is 14000 pounds,

14000 = c × 10³

c = $\frac{14000}{1\times 10^3}$

  = $\frac{14000}{1000}$

  = 14 pounds

 Therefore, weight of the cat will be 14 pounds.
