The age of a dog is proportional to the age of a human. Based on the graph, determine a dog’s age if a human is 3 years old.

A 3-year-old human is the same as a
-year-old dog.
Since no graph was provided, we cannot determine the exact age conversion using the specific graph you're referring to. However, I can offer you a general method of calculating dog years to human years using a traditional approximation.
The old adage of "one human year equals seven dog years" is a rough estimate. According to this formula, if a human is 3 years old, then the dog's age would be:
3 human years x 7 = 21 dog years.
This would make a 3-year-old human the same as a 21-year-old dog.
However, please note that this calculation is an oversimplification. The American Veterinary Medical Association breaks down dog ages like this:
- The first year of a medium-sized dog's life is equivalent to approximately 15 human years.
- The second year for a dog equals about nine years for a human.
- And after that, each human year would be approximately 5 years for a dog.
Without your specific graph, it is impossible to give you the accurate conversion you are asking for. If you have a particular conversion chart or graph you're referencing, please provide the details or use the above information to estimate the dog's age as best as possible.
