At a dog shelter, a 28-pound bag of dog food will feed 42 dogs. How many dogs would you expect to feed with a 14-pound bag of dog food? (Input only whole numbers

HELP ASAP!! :)

21. i think, since 14 is half of 28, you would divide the number of dogs a 28-pound bag feeds in half and get 21.

As I was reading this question, I suddenly realized that
the 14-lb bag has only half the amount of dog food in it
that the 28-lb bag has.

So I'm pretty sure it can only feed half the number of dogs
(half of 42).
