Final answer:
A bag with 4 cups of dog food will last for 5 full days if a dog eats 3/4 of a cup each day. After dividing the total amount of dog food by the daily consumption, we get 5 1/3 days, meaning 5 full days with leftover food.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks how many full days a bag with 4 cups of dog food will last if a small dog eats 3/4 of a cup each day. To find out, we divide the total amount of food by the daily consumption:
Find the total amount of dog food in the bag: 4 cups.
- Determine the daily consumption of the dog: 3/4 cup.
- Divide the total food by daily consumption to find out how many days the food will last:
4 cups ÷ (3/4 cup) = 16/3 days. - Converting the fraction to a mixed number: 5 1/3 days. So the dog food will last for 5 full days, with some left over.
Therefore, the bag of food will last for 5 full days.
