Question

A cat is to receive 90 kcal of a canned food at each meal. The food has a caloric

density of 450 kcal per can. What fraction of a can should it receive at each meal?

Answer 1

The cat should receive 1/5 of the can of food at each meal.

Explanation:

Given that a cat is to receive 90 kcal of a canned food at each meal, and the food has a caloric density of 450 kcal per can, to determine what fraction of a can it should receive at each meal, the following calculation must be performed:

1 / (450/90) = X

1/5 = X

Thus, the cat should receive 1/5 of the can of food at each meal.
