Question

Laurie saw some stray cats in her backyard. She put out some water and a bowl with 3 cups of food. The cats drank all the water and ate half of the food. How many ounces of food did the cats eat?

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

1 cup = 8 ounces.

In total, there are 3 cups of food.

So, we do 3 × 8 which would equal 24.

24 ÷ 2 = 12.

12 is half of all the food Laurie gave to the stray cats

Therefore, 12 is the correct answer.
