Sparky weighs 3/4 of her weight, plus 3/4 of a pound. How much does she weigh?

To find out how much Sparky weighs, we can set up an equation based on the given information.

Let's assume Sparky's weight is represented by "W" in pounds.

According to the information given, Sparky weighs 3/4 of her weight, plus an additional 3/4 of a pound. So we can write the equation as:

W = (3/4)W + (3/4)

To solve for W, we'll need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. We can start by subtracting (3/4)W from both sides:

W - (3/4)W = (3/4)

To subtract (3/4)W from W, we can rewrite W as (4/4)W:

(4/4)W - (3/4)W = (3/4)

Now, we can combine the terms with W on one side:

(4/4 - 3/4)W = (3/4)

Simplifying the left side:

(1/4)W = (3/4)

To solve for W, we'll divide both sides of the equation by (1/4):

W = (3/4) / (1/4)

Dividing fractions involves multiplying the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator, so:

W = (3/4) * (4/1)

On the right side, the 4s cancel each other out, leaving us with:

W = 3

Therefore, Sparky weighs 3 pounds.
