Dylan's dog weighs 12 times as much as his pet rabbit. The dog and rabbit weigh 104 pounds altogether. How much does Dylan's dog weigh?
Let the weight of the rabbbit =r, then:
The weight of the dog =12r.
r + 12r = 104
13r = 104 divide both sides by 13
r =104/13
r=8 pounds - the weight of the rabbit
8 x 12 = 96 pounds - the weight of the dog.
