function w gives the weight of a cat, in kilograms, when it is m months old.
which statement represents the meaning of the equation w(7)=4?
the cat weighs 4 kilograms when it is 7 months old.
the cat weighs 4 kilograms when it is 7 years old.
the cat weighs 7 kilograms when it is 4 months old.
the weight of the cat has been 7 kilograms for 4 months.

Explanation:

In the function \( w(m) \), \( m \) represents the number of months (as given in the problem statement: "when it is \( m \) months old"). The function \( w \) gives the weight. When \( w(7)=4 \), it means when \( m = 7 \) (7 months), the output of the function (weight) is 4 kilograms.

Answer:

The cat weighs 4 kilograms when it is 7 months old.
