Answer:

Emma has dog food worth of 6 weeks 6 days.

Explanation:

Lets take number of weeks the dogs can eat dog food as
x.

Then,

Number of bags dogs eat per week * number of weeks = number of dog food

will give the number of weeks the dogs can eat the dog food.

Now we substitute the given values to the equation,


8(1)/(4)*x=56(37)/(40)


(33)/(4) *x=(2277)/(40)


(330)/(40) *x=(2277)/(40)


330*x=2277


x=(2277)/(330)


6.9 weeks

Which mean she has dog food worth of 6 weeks 6 days.
