• Given: A table with weights of four organs for four animals. We need the highest ratio of (Brain + Liver) to (Total sum of the 4 organs).

• Basic Method (Solution):
Step 1: Horse -> Total = $3.60 + 0.30 + 6.25 + 0.60 = 10.75$. Brain+Liver = $0.30 + 6.25 = 6.55$. Percentage = $\frac{6.55}{10.75} \times 100 \approx 60.9\%$.
Step 2: Cow -> Total = $2.70 + 0.20 + 5.45 + 0.45 = 8.80$. Brain+Liver = $0.20 + 5.45 = 5.65$. Percentage = $\frac{5.65}{8.80} \times 100 \approx 64.2\%$.
Step 3: Sheep -> Total = $1.80 + 0.13 + 2.20 + 0.30 = 4.43$. Brain+Liver = $0.13 + 2.20 = 2.33$. Percentage = $\frac{2.33}{4.43} \times 100 \approx 52.6\%$.
Step 4: Dog -> Total = $1.30 + 0.09 + 1.50 + 0.14 = 3.03$. Brain+Liver = $0.09 + 1.50 = 1.59$. Percentage = $\frac{1.59}{3.03} \times 100 \approx 52.4\%$.

• Shortcut Method: Visually compare the dominant weights. The liver is the heaviest organ. For Cow, the liver (5.45) is more than double the heart (2.70). For Horse, the liver (6.25) is less than double the heart (3.60). Hence, the liver takes up a much larger fraction of the total weight in Cow compared to Horse. Therefore, Cow has the highest percentage.

• Final Answer: Cow

• Given: A data table with the organ weights of four animals. Required to find the heaviest 'Heart'.

• Basic Method (Solution): Observe the 'Heart' column values:
Horse = 3.60 kg
Cow = 2.70 kg
Sheep = 1.80 kg
Dog = 1.30 kg
The maximum value is 3.60 kg, which corresponds to the Horse.

• Shortcut Method: Directly scan the 'Heart' column downwards to instantly spot 3.60 as the largest number. Match the row to the animal.

• Final Answer: Horse
