Question

There are 6 puppies in a litter. Each puppy eats ½ a cup of food three times a day. How many cups of food does the litter go through each day?

Answer 1

Answer: 9 cups of food

Explanation:

First find out the amount of food that one puppy eats per day.

Each puppy eats 0.5 cups of food three times a day which means that in total they eat:

= 0.5 * 3

= 1.5 cups of food.

There are 6 puppies in the litter so the total amount of food they eat is:

= 1.5 * 6 puppies

= 9 cups of food
