Question

Over the summer, Mr. poodle refill the birdfeeder 24 times using 6 cup of seed each time a bag of seed holds 32 cups how many bags of seeds did Mr. Pedro use?

Answer 1

To determine the number of seed bags Mr. Poodle used, we multiply the number of refills by the cups used per refill to find the total number of cups (144), then divide by the number of cups per bag (32). The calculation shows Mr. Poodle used 4.5 bags, meaning he needed 5 bags in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves a mathematical calculation to determine the number of seed bags Mr. Poodle used over the summer. First, we need to find the total number of cups of seed Mr. Poodle used by multiplying the number of times he refilled the birdfeeder by the amount of seed used each time:

24 refills × 6 cups per refill = 144 cups of seed

Next, we need to divide the total number of cups used by the number of cups in each bag to find out how many bags were used:

144 cups ÷ 32 cups per bag = 4.5 bags

Since we cannot have a half of a bag, Mr. Poodle would have had to use 5 bags of seed, assuming he does not have half-empty bags lying around.
