3 ÷ 3/4

3 × 4/3 (keep, change, flip)

12/3 = 4 weeks is the answer

Hope this helps :)

Answer: 4 weeks

Explanation:

To find the answer to this question, we will divide 3 by 3/4 to find the number of weeks one bag will last.

3 / (3/4) = 3 * (4/3) = 12/3 = 4 weeks

One 3 -pound bag will last the cat 4 weeks.
