Answer 1

Jenna bought enough cat food for her cat. She feeds her cat 3/4 can twice a day and needed to provide for 5 days. After calculating, she requires 7.5 cans and she bought 8 cans, which is sufficient.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jenna feeds her cat twice a day and gives her cat 3/4 can of cat food each time. Since Jenna needs to provide for her cat for 5 days, we need to calculate the total amount of cat food required and then compare that with the 8 cans she bought to see if it is enough.

First, let's calculate the daily consumption of cat food:

• 3/4 can per feeding × 2 feedings per day = 3/4 can + 3/4 can = 1.5 cans per day

Next, let's calculate the total consumption over 5 days:

• 1.5 cans per day × 5 days = 7.5 cans

Since Jenna bought 8 cans of cat food, this is more than the 7.5 cans needed. Therefore, Jenna did buy enough cat food for her cat for the duration of 5 days.
