Final answer:

To find the number of 8-ounce servings in a 28-pound bag of dog food, divide the weight of the bag in ounces by 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of 8-ounce servings in a 28-pound bag of dog food, we need to convert the weight of the bag to ounces and then divide by 8. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, the 28-pound bag weighs 28 x 16 = 448 ounces. Now, we divide 448 by 8 to get the number of 8-ounce servings: 448 / 8 = 56. Therefore, there are 56 8-ounce servings in a 28-pound bag of dog food.
