Answer: hope this helps ♡


(5)/(12) cups of dog food is recommended for a 25-pound adult dog.

Explanation:

Unitary method: diving the number that you want to find out over the already known number. (just try to understand this lol) :)

10 lb = ⅙ Or 0.1666666 cups

1 lb = ? cups


(0.16)/(10) = 0.01666666

1 lb = 0.01666666 cups

25 lb = 0.01666666 × 25 cups

25 lb = 0.416666667 Or
(5)/(12) cups

(Or: 10lb= ⅙ 20lb= ⅙+⅙ =
(2)/(6) 5lb= ⅙ ÷ 2=
(1)/(12) (10lb÷2) 25lb =
(1)/(12)+(2)/(6) =
(5)/(12) ≈ 0.416666667 (25=20+5)
