Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Since, 20% of the total diagram is represented by one fifth part of the total length.

Therefore, by adding all parts we will get 100% weight of the adult puppy.

20% of the part = 9 pounds

So the total weight of the adult puppy = 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9

                                                         = 45 pounds

b). Weight of the puppy =  9 pounds

    Weight of a adult = 45 pounds

    Therefore, fraction that represents the weight of the puppy as compared to the weight of an adult = $\frac{9}{45}$

                                         = $\frac{1}{5}$
