A magician has 6 rabbits. Each rabbit weighs the same. The combined weight of all the rabbits is 7.2 kilograms.
(a)Let w be the weight of each rabbit (in kilograms). Write an equation that can be used to find w. First choose an appropriate form. Then fill in the blanks with the letter w and the numbers 6 and 7.2.
(b)Solve your equation for w to find the weight of each rabbit.
question b put in equation pls
Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. To provide the equation in part (b), we can modify the given equation in part (a):
w = 7.2/6
Therefore, the equation to solve for the weight of each rabbit is w = 1.2.
(a) The equation that can be used to find the weight of each rabbit can be written in the form of:
w * 6 = 7.2
Here, 'w' represents the weight of each rabbit, '6' represents the number of rabbits, and '7.2' represents the combined weight of all the rabbits.
(b) To solve the equation for 'w', we need to isolate 'w' on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 6:
w * 6 / 6 = 7.2 / 6
Simplifying, we get:
w = 1.2
Therefore, the weight of each rabbit is 1.2 kilograms.
(a) The appropriate form of the equation can be written as:
6w = 7.2
(b) To solve this equation for w, we need to isolate w on one side of the equation. To do this, we divide both sides by 6:
w = 7.2/6
Thus, the weight of each rabbit is w = 1.2 kilograms.
