Answer:

d)
3(3)/(4) pounds

Explanation:

Hi there!

What we know:

- Sarah has
11 (1)/(4) pounds of dog food

- Sarah is dividing this into 3 containers

1) Convert
11 (1)/(4) into an improper fraction


11 (1)/(4)

Multiply the whole number by the denominator

11 × 4 = 44

Add 44 to the numerator

44 + 1 = 45


(45)/(4)

2) Divide
(45)/(4) by 3


(45)/(4) / 3

Dividing by a number is the same as multiplying its reciprocal


= (45)/(4) *(1)/(3)

Multiply the numerators and the denominators


45*1 = 45\\4*3 = 12


= (45)/(12)

3) Convert
(45)/(12) into a mixed number fraction


(45)/(12)
3(3)/(4)

Therefore, there will be
3(3)/(4) pounds of food in each container.

I hope this helps!
