Question

Shane bought an 18 pound bag of dog food. He feeds his dog pound of dog food 5/3 for each meal. If Shane feeds his dog twice a day every day, how many days will the 18 pound bag of dog food last?

Answer 1

It will last for 3 days i believe.

Answer 2

18 pounds of dog food will last 3 days.

Explanation:

We know that he has 18 pound of dog food and he is giving 3 pound of food twice every day, so 3 * 2 would be 6. So we need 6 pounds of dog food is being fed every day. Since we want to find out how much dog food 18 pound bag could last, you would divide 18 by 6 so 18/6 would get you 3. So we know 18 bag of dog food will last 3 days.
