Question

Alison's dog eats 8 ounces of dog food each day. Alison bought a 28-pound bag of dog food. How many 8 ounce servings are in a 28 pound bag of dog food ?

A 14
B 56
C 224
D 4

Answer 1

To find this, we must first know how many ounces are in a pound. There are 16 ounces in a pound, which means that for every pound of dog food, Allison's dog gets 2 servings.

With this logic in mind, we can simply multiply 28 by 2 to represent 2 servings of food per pound. When we do this, it yields a result of 56.

Therefore, there are 56 servings in this bag of dog food.
