Question

HELP PLS

ada has a new puppy that weighs 9 pounds. It is now at about 20% of its adult weight. Here is a diagram that Jada drew about the weight of her puppy. The adult weight of the puppy will be 45 pounds. How can you see that in the diagram

Answer 1

9x5=45 (the max)

If the puppy was to turn into an adult the diagram would be fully colored in (100%).

Answer 2

Answer: There are 5 boxes all labeled 9. Each box is 20%.

Explanation:

If you take this equation: 20%*a(adult weight)=n(new puppy weight) and plug in the values, the equation would be 20%*45=9. You can check that the equation is correct by multiplying 0.2*45 which will equal 9. The five boxes are all 20% and there are 5 20%'s in 100%.

Hope this helps! :)
