Brenda dog is 5 times as long as hugh dog together the dogs are 48 inches long how many inches long is hugh dog

x + 5x = 48

6x = 48
x = 48/6
x = ?

its 44

To find out how long Hugh dog is, we can set up an equation using the given information.

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

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

Together, the dogs are 48 inches long, so we can add their lengths:

x + 5x = 48

Simplifying the equation, we combine like terms:

6x = 48

To find the value of x (the length of Hugh dog), we need to isolate it by dividing both sides of the equation by 6:

6x/6 = 48/6

This simplifies to:

x = 8

Therefore, Hugh dog is 8 inches long.
