Question

jasmine buys 21 cans of dog food. She gives 1/3 of the cans to her neighbor and she keeps the rest of the cans for her puppy. Jasmines's puppy eats 4/7 of a can of food each day. How many days supply of dog food does jasmine have for her puppy?

Answer 1

Jasmine gives away 7 of her 21 cans of dog food to her neighbor, and her puppy consumes 4/7 of a can per day. After calculations, Jasmine has a 24.5-day supply of dog food for her puppy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jasmine buys 21 cans of dog food. She gives away 1/3 of the cans to her neighbor, so she gives away 21 cans * 1/3 = 7 cans, and keeps 14 cans for herself. Her puppy eats 4/7 of a can each day. To find out how many days the 14 cans will last, we divide the total number of cans Jasmine has by the amount her puppy eats each day.

Therefore, we have: 14 cans ÷ (4/7 cans per day) = 14 cans ÷ 4/7 cans/day = 14 × 7/4 days = 24.5 days.

Jasmine has enough dog food to last for 24.5 days for her puppy.

Answer 2

21 cans of dog food.

She gives 21/3, or 7 cans to her neighbor.

She now has 21 - 7, or 14 cans for her puppy.

Her puppy eats 4/7 cans a day.


`14 * (4)/(7) =2* 4= \boxed{\bf{8}}`

Jasmine has 8 days supply of dog food for her puppy.
