Question

Sammy purchased 25 doggie

biscuits for her pet dog,
Jingles. Every day she gives
Sophie 2½ treats. How many
days will the treats last?

Answer 1

To find out how many days the treats will last for Jingles:

If Sammy purchased 25 doggie biscuits and gives Sophie 2 ½ treats every day:

First, find the total number of treats Sophie gets daily: 2 ½ = 2.5 treats per day.

Then divide the total number of treats purchased (25) by the number of treats given per day (2.5):

25 treats/2.5 treats/day = 10 days.

Therefore, the treats will last for 10 days for Sophie.
