Answer:

40 ounces ;

2.5 pounds

Explanation:

Given that:

Number of ounces of food per day = 4 ounces

Number of days for which cats were fed = 10

The smallest bag that has enough food to feed the cats should be :

(ounces of food per day * Number of days)

(4 ounces * 10)

= 40 ounces

1 pound = 16 ounces

40 ounces = 40/16 = 2.5 pounds
