C. 5 and 6
D. 6 and 7

Answer 1

Between 5 and 6 cups

Answer 2

Explanation:

She uses all the food to feed the dogs in 6 days. She feeds the with an equal amount of food in 6 days. This means that whatever amount of food she buys, the least amount she would feed the dogs with is 1/6 of that amount.

There are 31 cups of dog food. This means that the amount she would feed them with each day is

1/6 × 31 = 5.1 cups

So the least amount is 5 cups

Therefore,

The number of cups she feeds her dogs with would be between 5 and 6 cups.
