Jesse takes his dog and cat for their annual vet visit. jesse's dog weighs 23 pounds. the vet tells him his cat's weight is 5 8 as much as his dog's weight. how much does his cat weigh?

roughly 14.4 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

the question is asking to find out how much 5/8 "of" 23 is. this indicates that we should use multiplication. it's as simple as typing 5/8(23) in your calculator or in a google search and pressing enter.  

answer: 0,6

step-by-step explanation:

this would make it the y intercept.

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
