Answer 1

Answer: $33\frac{3}{4}\ pounds$

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of Ana's dog at the time of its birth= $5\frac{5}{8}\ pounds=\frac{45}{8}\ pounds$

By age 4, the dog weighed 6 times as much.

Now, the weight of Ana’s dog at age 4 =$6\times\frac{45}{8}=\frac{45\times3}{4}=\frac{135}{4}\ pounds$

Since, $\frac{135}{4}=33\frac{3}{4}$

The weight of Ana’s dog at age 4 = $33\frac{3}{4}\ pounds$
