Savannah needs to buy a bag of dog food that will last for 2 weeks (14 days). She

estimates that a 20 lb bag will be enough. Is she correct?

Ok so I don't see anything about the amount of food the dog eat everyday, so I will take the average medium dog (20-60 pounds)

A 20-60 pounds dog will need around 4-12 ounces of dog food (0.25-0.75lb) everyday.

So, if she divide everyday equally, the dog should receive 20 : 14 = approx. 1.4

So, a 20lb bag would be enough for 2 weeks.
