The weight of an elephant is 10 to the 3rd power times the weight of a cat if the elephant weighs 14000 pounds how many pounds does a cat weigh

If you make that into an equation, make cat the variable "c":

(10^3) c=14000

10 to the power of 3 would be 10*10*10 which equals 1000.

that means 1000 times the cat's weight equals 14000.

divide 14000 by 1000 to get the cat's weight, which would be 14.
