Solution:
Note that:
- Abby's dog: 1.5 cups of food
- Braxton's dog: 4.5 cups of food
Looking at the information we got, we can say that Braxton's dog eats more. Let's put them into ratio form (Braxton's dog:Abby's dog)
- => (Braxton's dog:Abby's dog) = 4.5:1.5
Now, put them into fractions.
We can conclude that Braxton's dog eats 3 times more food.
