You must show how you get your answer.

Answer 1

yes she has bought enough food to feed her cats for 14 days

if one cats eats 1/4 can each day then it will b 2/4 for one whole day for 2 cats

2/4 cans x 14 days

1 can lasts for 2 days

so 7 cans last for 14 days

Answer 2

She has bought enough.

Explanation:

Sue's 2 cats eat a total of

Cats * Eat a Day = Daily

2 * 1/4 = 1/2

tins of cat food per day. Therefore, they will eat a total of

Daily * Day = Total Needed

1/2 * 14 = 7

tins of cat food in 14 days. Since Sue has bought 8 tins of cat food, she has bought enough to feed her 2 cats for 14 days.
