Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement 1

Average weight of 3 dogs = 55 pounds

Total weight of 3 dogs = 55 × 3

Total weight of 3 dogs = 165 pound

Statement 2

Average weight of 5 cats = 9 pounds

Total weight of 5 cats = 9 × 5

Total weight of 5 cats = 45 pounds

New Average = 165 + 45/8

New Average = 210/8
