There are approximately 4 lbs of muscle to every 7 lbs of body weight of a certain animal. For a 182 lb animal, how much of the weight is muscle?

182 / 7 = 26(4), 4 being Ib's of muscle =104 total lb's of muscle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do 4 is to 7 as x is to 182. , so 7x= 182.4 which means x=104 pounds.

Juice beat me to it :-) OH, 182.4 meant 182 times 4. Just noticed it looks like a decimal.
