David weighs 147.6 pounds his nephew weighs 14.76 pounds choose a number to complete the sentence David weight x A 0.01 B 0.1 C 10 D 100 = his nephew weight

Answer 1

To find the appropriate number \( x \) that completes the sentence "David's weight \( x = \) his nephew's weight," we can set up the equation using their weights:

David's weight: 147.6 pounds
Nephew's weight: 14.76 pounds

We need to determine which option \( x \) makes the equation valid:

\[ 147.6 \times x = 14.76 \]

To solve for \( x \):

\[ x = \frac{14.76}{147.6} \]

Calculating this:

\[ x = 0.1 \]

Thus, the appropriate number to complete the sentence is:

B) 0.1
