Answer:
Your dog weighs 48 pounds
Explanation:
Since we know that your cat weighs 8 pounds and your dog weigh 6 times more than your cat, we know that we will be using multiplication since the word "times" was directly given to us in the question.
To find the weight of your dog, all you need to do is multiply 8 by 6:
8 times 6 = 48
Therefore, you dog weighs 48 pounds.
(If you wanted to double check the answer, you would divide 48 by 6. Your answer would be 8 which is the weight of the cat proving that the dog does in fact weigh 48 pounds.)
