Alocal store has a puppy that weighs 88 ounces. how many pounds does the puppy weigh, given that 1 pound = 16 ounces? (input only the numeric values and decimal points, such as 6.4.)

5.5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportion to sole this problem

The question asks us to find the number of pounds a puppy of 88 ounce  weighs if 1 pound = 16 ounces

Using proportion;

Let x be the number of pounds  the puppy weighs

1  pound  =   16 ounces

       x        =    88 ounces

Cross-multiply

16 × x =  88 × 1

16 x  =  88

Divide both-side of the equation by 16

 =

(On the left-hand side of the equation 16 at the numerator will cancel-out the 16 at the denominator, leaving us with just x while at the right-hand side of the equation 88 will be divided by 16)

x  =  5.5  pounds

Therefore the puppy weighs 5.5 pounds

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.
