Question

Leo feeds his cat 2/3 cans of food 2 times a day. Leo is going out of town for 3 days. How many cans of food does Leo need to give a neighbor to feed his cat?

Answer 1

Determine how many can for a day
can for a day = 2/3 × 2
can for a day = 4/3
The cat needs 4/3 cans of food a day

Determine how many can for 3 days
can for 3 days = can for a day × 3
can for 3 days = 4/3 × 3
can for 3 days = 12/3
can for 3 days = 4
Leo should give 4 cans of food to the neighbor
