a tiger can eat 15% of his body weight he eats 75lbs how much does he weigh
15 % = 15 / 100 = 0.15
75 / 0.15 = 500 lbs
This didn’t help me at all, it just made me more confused. Explain more!! And there are to many ads it’d distracting.
To determine the weight of the tiger, we can use the fact that it can eat 15% of its body weight. Let's assume the weight of the tiger is "W" in pounds.
We know that the tiger ate 75 pounds, which is 15% of its body weight. Therefore, we can set up the following equation:
15% of W = 75 pounds
To solve this equation, we need to convert 15% to a decimal. To do that, we divide 15 by 100:
15/100 = 0.15
Now we can rewrite the equation as:
0.15W = 75 pounds
To solve for W, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.15:
W = 75 pounds / 0.15
Now we can calculate the weight of the tiger:
W = 500 pounds
Therefore, the tiger weighs 500 pounds.
