Question

Whiskers the cat weighs 2 2/3 kg. Piglo weighs 4kg. For each question , write a myipulcation and a division equation, decide whether the answer is greater or less than +,and then answer the question

Answer 1

1) x= 3/2= 1 1/2

2) x= 2/3

Explanation:

1)How many times as heavy as Whiskers is Piglio?

a) Write a multiplication equation for the question.

2 2/3 kg * [x]= 4kg

b) Write a division equation for the question.

4/ 2 (2/3) = x

c) Is the answer greater than 1 or less than 1?

Ans) Greater than 1

d) Find the answer

4/ 8/3= x

x= 3/2= 1 1/2

Pigilo is 1 1/2 times as heavy as whiskers

2)How many times as heavy as Piglio is Whiskers?

a) Write a multiplication equation for the question.

4 kg * [x]= 2 2/3 kg

b) Write a division equation for the question.

2 (2/3)/4 = x

c) Is the answer greater than 1 or less than 1?

Ans) Less than 1

d) Find the answer

8/3/4= x

8/3 * 1/4= x

2/3= x

Whiskers is 2/3 times as heavy as Pigilo.
