Answer:

14 servings

Explanation:

Step 1

We convert 7 pounds to ounces

0.0625 pound = 1 ounce

7 pounds = x

Cross Multiply

0.0625x = 7

x = 7/0.0625

x = 112 ounces

Step 2

The number of 8 ounce servings she can give to her dog is calculated as:

8 ounces = 1 serving

112 ounces = x servings

Cross Multiply

8 × x = 112 × 1

8x = 112

x = 112/8

x = 14 servings

Therefore, the number of 8 ounce servings she can feed her dog is 14
