Question

You and a friend decide to work at the animal shelter over the summer. You quickly realize that the dogs do not share their treats very well! You have 324,567 Doggie Yum treats to give to the dogs throughout the summer. You have been given specific instructions that the dogs may not have over 10 Doggie Yums in the summer. What is the largest number of equal Doggie Yums each dog can get this summer?

a) 32,456
b) 32,456.7
c) 32,456.7 (rounded down to the nearest whole number)
d) 3,245.67

Answer 1

To find the largest number of equal treats each dog can get, divide the total number of treats by the maximum number of treats each dog can have. In this case, the largest number of equal treats each dog can get this summer is 32,456.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the largest number of equal treats each dog can get, we need to divide the total number of treats by the maximum number of treats each dog can have. In this case, the maximum number of treats each dog can have is 10. So we divide 324,567 by 10:

324,567 ÷ 10 = 32,456.7

To round this number down to the nearest whole number, we drop the decimal part:

32,456

Therefore, the largest number of equal treats each dog can get this summer is 32,456.
