1/4x = 24 for cans
Multiply both sides by 4 (the multiplicative inverse of 1/4)
x = 96 days

3/4x = 38 for dry food
Multiply both sides by 4
3x = 152
x = 50.666667

So I would say Ann can be gone 50 days before Maggie runs out of food. I don’t think they would count the 2/3 of a day. She will run out of dry food before canned food.
