Answer 2

24 dogs.

Explanation:

We have been given that 24 lb bag of dog food will feed 36 dogs a day. We are asked to find the number of dogs that can be feed with a 16 pound dog bag of food.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem as:

`\frac{\text{Dogs feed}}{\text{Amount of dog food}}=(36)/(24)`

Upon substituting amount of dog food equal to 16, we will get:

`\frac{\text{Dogs feed}}{16}=(36)/(24)`

`\frac{\text{Dogs feed}}{16}* 16=(36)/(24)* 16`

`\text{Dogs feed}=(36)/(3)* 2`

`\text{Dogs feed}=12* 2`

`\text{Dogs feed}=24`

Therefore, we can feed 24 dogs with a 16 pound dog bag of food.
