A dog is 3times as heavy as a cat . number 1: what is the ratio of the dog weight to the cat.show correct working
Let's assume the weight of the cat is represented by x.
Since the dog is 3 times as heavy as the cat, we can represent the weight of the dog as 3x.
The ratio of the dog's weight to the cat's weight can be written as:
3x : x
Simplifying this ratio by dividing both terms by x, we get:
3 : 1
So, the ratio of the dog's weight to the cat's weight is 3 : 1.
