If we call the weight of the cat x, then the weight of the dog is 2x. We're told that the sum of the weights is 27, so 2x + x = 27. This is the same as saying that 3x = 27, so x must be 9. So the cat weights 9, the dog weighs 18.

A dog and a cat together weigh 27 pounds if the dog's weight is an odd number and if he weighs twice as much as shedoes how much does each weigh?

I know it isn't proper English but the cat is male (he) and the dog is female (she). So the cat weighs the 18 pounds and the dog weighs the 9 pounds so the dog has an odd number for it's weight.

A reel of cable weighs 1279 pounds If the empty reel weighs 285 pounds and the cable weighs 7.1 pounds per foot the number of feet of cable on the reel is?

To find the number of feet of cable on the reel, first subtract the weight of the empty reel from the total weight to get the weight of the cable only: 1279 pounds - 285 pounds = 994 pounds. Then divide the weight of the cable by the weight per foot to find the number of feet: 994 pounds / 7.1 pounds/foot ≈ 140 feet. So, there are approximately 140 feet of cable on the reel.

If two dogs together weighs 36 pounds and Fido weighs twice as much as Rex how much does each dog weigh?

Fido weighs 24 lbs, Rex weighs 12 lbs. This is simple algebra, you figure that if fido weighs twice as much as rex, and assume 'x' is rex's weight, you can figure 2x + x = 36, you can simplify that to 3x = 36. Divide both sides by 3 (because you have 3x) and you get x = 12 (rex's weight)
