Alocal store has a puppy that weighs 88 ounces. how many pounds does the puppy weigh, given that 1 pound = 16 ounces? (input only the numeric values and decimal points, such as 6.4.)

5.5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportion to sole this problem

The question asks us to find the number of pounds a puppy of 88 ounce  weighs if 1 pound = 16 ounces

Using proportion;

Let x be the number of pounds  the puppy weighs

1  pound  =   16 ounces

       x        =    88 ounces

Cross-multiply

16 × x =  88 × 1

16 x  =  88

Divide both-side of the equation by 16

 =

(On the left-hand side of the equation 16 at the numerator will cancel-out the 16 at the denominator, leaving us with just x while at the right-hand side of the equation 88 will be divided by 16)

x  =  5.5  pounds

Therefore the puppy weighs 5.5 pounds

the answer is:

the lateral area is equal to

to find the lateral area of the square pyramid, first we need to find the perimeter of the base, and then, find the lateral area using the following formulas:

where,

s, is the base length

slant height, is the height of a the side of the pyramid

we are given:

now, calculating the perimeter of the base, we have:

then, calculating the lateral area:

hence, we have that the lateral area is equal to
