Shelley's kitten weights 2 1/3 times as much as she did last year. She now weighs 21 ounces. What did the kitten weight a year ago?

weight of the kitten last year = 9 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = weight of the kitten last year

Weight of the kitten this year = 2 1/3 * x = 21

7/3*x = 21

7/3x = 21

x = 21 ÷ 7/3

x = 21 × 3/7

= 63/7

x = 9 ounces

weight of the kitten last year = 9 ounces

answer: can and shows the work

step-by-step explanation:

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
