Answer:

A- 2/7 of the initial weight.

B- 28.58% of the initial weight.

Explanation:

A- To determine the weight fraction that the dog must lose to be healthy, we have to take into account the common divisor between 35 and 25. Both are divisible by 5, so we must calculate based on that number to obtain a comparable fraction between both weights.

So, the dog must go from weighing 35/35 to weighing 25/35, that is, from weighing 7/7 to weighing 5/7. Therefore, the dog should lose 2/7 of its weight to reach the ideal weight.

B- To determine the percentage of weight that the dog must lose to reach its ideal weight, it is determined through a cross multiplication:

35 kg = 100%

25 kg = X

(25 x 100) / 35 = X

2500/35 = X

71.42 = X

So, the 25 kg represents 71.42% of the initial 35 kg. Therefore, the 10 kg lost represent 28.58% of the initial weight (100 - 71.42).

In ethics does clothes matter or pure aesthetic taste, make sense to become a subject?<br><br><br>​
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Clothes are one of the fundamental necessities of human beings like food and shelter to protect themself from cold, rain, and other environmental conditions. Clothes nowadays become a status symbol and form of expression.

Clothes should not be a subject of ethics as it is their personal choice and clothes also use as a form of art. One should not defy or judge a person by his or her clothes as it a personal choice and environmental necessities.

However, in some cases like school, workplace, there are obligations to follow the dress code, it is a form of ethics but it is to show professionalism and equality among all students and employees.
