Brenda's dog is 5 times as long as Hugh's dog. Together the dogs are 48 inches long.How many inches long is Hugh's dog?

H + 5H = 48

Solve for H.

9.3 the answer to h+5h=48 is 44

This is an Algebra equation.

Solve for x (Hughs dog size)
x +5x=48
6x=48
x=48/6
x=8

8*5=40 (Brendas dog size is 5 times as long as Hughs)

40+8=48

To find out how long Hugh's dog is, we need to set up an equation based on the information given.

Let's say the length of Hugh's dog is represented by "x" inches.

According to the problem, Brenda's dog is 5 times as long as Hugh's dog. So, the length of Brenda's dog would be 5x inches.

Together, the dogs are 48 inches long. Therefore, we can write the equation:

x + 5x = 48

Now, we can solve for x:

6x = 48

Divide both sides of the equation by 6:

x = 48/6

x = 8

Hugh's dog is 8 inches long.
