Question

If a cat eats 4 pounds of food in 5 days, how many pounds will it eat in 60 days? I think it’s 48 correct?

Answer 1

48 pounds is correct

Explanation:

In order to find the amount of food for 60 days, we must find how much the cat eats in 1 day.

We are given the ratio: 4 pounds, 5 days

To find the pounds for 1 day, we must divide 4 by 5, which will give us 4/5 or 0.8.

Now, to find the number of pounds for 60 days, we have to multiply by the amount of food eaten in one day, which is 4/5.

4/5 times 60 is 48.

Therefore, 48 pounds of food will be eaten in 60 days.

Answer 2

Yes . You take 4/5 =0,8 so in One day cat eats 0,8 pounds of food. And to get know how much She eats in 60 Days : 0,8*60=48
