Question

John has 12 cans of dog food. He has two dogs and he gives each dog 2/3 of dog food each day. Does he have enough dog food to last one week?

Answer 1

Yes he has enough dog food to last one week.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

John has 12 cans of dog food. He has two dogs and he gives each dog 2/3 of dog food each day.

Total dog food consumed in 1 day =
`2* (2)/(3)=(4)/(3)`

He has 12 cans of dog food.

Total days =
`12/ (4)/(3)`

Total days =
`12* (3)/(4)=9`

He has food for 9 days.

Hence, yes he has enough dog food to last one week.
