To find the number that completes the sentence, we need to determine what number multiplied by David's weight (147.6 pounds) gives us his nephew's weight (14.76 pounds).
We can set up the equation:
\[ 147.6 \times x = 14.76 \]
To find \( x \), we can divide both sides by 147.6:
\[ x = \frac{14.76}{147.6} \]
Calculating that:
\[ x = 0.1 \]
So, David's weight times **0.1** equals his nephew's weight.
The correct answer is:
**B) 0.1**
We can set up the equation:
\[ 147.6 \times x = 14.76 \]
To find \( x \), we can divide both sides by 147.6:
\[ x = \frac{14.76}{147.6} \]
Calculating that:
\[ x = 0.1 \]
So, David's weight times **0.1** equals his nephew's weight.
The correct answer is:
**B) 0.1**
