Question

The Local animal shelter uses one and 3/5 bags of dog food each day to feed all of its dogs. For how many days will a donation of 12 bags of dog food last? Write an equation that can be used to determine how many days the donated dog food will last.

Answer 1

Answer: 12 ÷ 1 3/5

The problem is asking us to find how many days food would last. Since the food shelter uses 1 3/5 each day, the 12 bags of food would be split into 1 3/5 they use each day.
