Question

Ivanna has bought 18 pounds of dog food. She feeds her dog 2/3 pounds for each meal. For how many meals will the food last?

Answer 1

27 meals

Explanation:

• The total weight of food Ivanna bought = 18 pounds

,

• Food consumed per meal = 2/3 pounds.

To determine for how many meals the food will last, divide the total weight by the quantity of food per meal.

`\begin{gathered} \text{ Number of meals}=18/(2)/(3) \\ =18*(3)/(2) \\ =(54)/(2) \\ =27\text{ meals} \end{gathered}`

The food bought will last for 27 meals.
