basic algebra

Dogs live much shorter lives than humans. An old dog might be 12-14 years. From that we say that every calendar year is 7 dog years.

If that is so, how old in dog years is a dog that is 5 calendar years?

How old in dog years is a dog 3.5 calendar years?

How old in dog years is a dog 12 calendar years?

How old is your dog in calendar years?
How old is your dog in dog years?

---------------------

Dog's LifeTo be more accurate, the first year in a dog's life is like 13 human years, and then, each year is like 6 human years.

Write a formula to state the above?

With that formula:
Compute the dog age of dogs that are:
4 calendar years
8 calendar years
13 calendar years

------------

Horses can live to 13-16 years. Let's say 15 is the average.

If a human is expected to live an average of 75 years, how many horse years are there in calendar years?

How old in horse years is a horse that is:

3 calendar years?
6 calendar years?
11 calendar years?
