Adult weighs 12,500 pounds
it is 5 times heavier
baby = x
adult = 5x ( 5 times the weight of the baby)
12,500 = 5x
divide both sides by 5
x = 12500 / 5
x = 2500
the baby weights 2,500 pounds
Let us cross multiply.
5/9=10/x
9 x 10= 5x
90=5x
90 <u />÷ 5= 5x <span>÷ 5
18=x
So, the answer is 18. I hope this helped you, since I just learned cross multiplication last week.</span>
