Question

Rita feeds her dog 3/4 pounds of dog food for each meal. Rita has just bought 24 pounds of dog food. For how many meals will the food last?

Answer 1

32 meals

Explanation:

Pounds of food per meal = 3/4 pounds

Pounds of food purchased = 24 pounds

Number of meals which the food can last up to, n = pounds of food purchased ÷ pounds of food per meal

n = 24 pounds ÷ 3/4 pounds

n = 24 * 4 /3

n = (24 * 4). / 3

n = 96 /3

n = 32 meals
