Where did you get a kitten to weigh 1.5 kg ??
4x+4x= 10
8x=10
x = 1.25 kg
so each kitten weighs 1.25 kg
and the cat weighs 4x or 4(1.25) = 5 kg
check:
does the cat weigh 4 times as much as a kitten
what is 4(1.25) ?
= 5, check!
what is the total weight of the 4 kitten and the cat
what is 4(1.25) + 5 ?
= 10 check !
My answer is correct
4x+4x= 10
8x=10
x = 1.25 kg
so each kitten weighs 1.25 kg
and the cat weighs 4x or 4(1.25) = 5 kg
check:
