`\text {1 weeks = } (7)/(2) * (1)/(3) \text { pounds of food}`


`\text {1 weeks = } (7)/(6) \text { pounds of food}`

Find 52 weeks :
------------------------------------------------------

`\text {52 weeks = } (7)/(6) * (52)/(1) \text { pounds of food}`


`\text {52 weeks = } 60(2)/(3) \text { pounds of food}`
