The formula H = 7D gives the relationship between the age D (in years) of a dog and the equivalent age H in human years. Anne figures that her Welsh Corgi Baxter is the equivalent of 60 human years old.
What is Baxter’s actual age?
60 = 7D
Just solve for D
Do you divide 60 into 7
Ok I got it now
To determine Baxter's actual age, we need to rearrange the equation H = 7D and solve for D, where H represents the age in human years and D represents the age in dog years.
Given that Anne figures Baxter is the equivalent of 60 human years old:
H = 60
Using the formula H = 7D, we substitute 60 for H:
60 = 7D
To solve for D, we divide both sides of the equation by 7:
D = 60 / 7
Therefore, Baxter's actual age (D) would be approximately 8.57 years.
