Using the equation which models weight of cat in terms of amount of food fed, the weight of the cat will be : 151.11 ounces

Given the equation :

Substituting g = 13 into the equation :

W = 0.86(13)² - 0.01(13) +5.9

W = 0.86(169) - 0.13 + 5.9

W = 145.34 - 0.13 + 5.9

W = 151.11 ounces

Therefore, the weight of the cat will be 151.11 ounces
