Melissa my pet cow from childhood that i could ride like a horse had a weight of 0.65 tons. Philip my pet rabbit had a weight of 192 ounces. How many philips would it take to weigh as much as one melissa

11 times the weight of Philip.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Weight of Melissa (i.e cow) = 0.65 tons

Weight of Philip (i.e rabbit) = 192 ounces

Next, we shall express the weight of Philip (i.e the rabbit) in tons. This can be obtained as follow:

1 ounce = 3.125×10¯⁵ ton

Therefore,

192 ounce = 192 ounce × 3.125×10¯⁵ ton / 1 ounce

192 ounce = 0.06 ton

Thus, the weight of Philip (i.e the rabbit) in ton is 0.06 ton.

Next, we shall determine the ratio of the weight of Melissa (i.e the cow) to the weight of Philip (i.e the rabbit). This can be obtained as follow:

Weight of Melissa (i.e cow) = 0.65 ton

Weight of Philip (i.e rabbit) = 0.06 ton

Melissa /Philip = 0.65/0.06

Melissa /Philip = 11

Melissa = 11 × Phillip

Thus, it will take 11 times the weight of Philip to weigh as much as Melissa.
