Question

Mrs. Arsenault need 14 cups of food for 7 days for her dog Apache. how much food will she need to feed him for 28 days (i dont get it)

Answer 1

56 cups

Explanation:

If Mrs. Arsenault's dog needs 14 cups per 7 days, then we simply need to find how many "groups of 7 days" are in 28, and then multiply by 14, since for each of these 7 days, 14 cups are needed.

Dividing 28 by 7 results in 4, which we then multiply by 14 to get 56 cups which will be needed for 28 days.

I attached a diagram that further illustrates this point.
