Question

Trish has 7 cans of dog food for 3 days. She will feed each dog 2 1/3 cans of food each days. If she wants to feed them 3 cans each day how many more cans of food will she need

Answer 1

2 more cans

Explanation:

2 1/3 x 3 = 7 cans (this the amount of cans of dog food she has)

3 x 3 = 9

the 3 represents how she wants to feed 3 cans of dog food each day for 3 days; the other 3 represents 3 days

9 - 7 = 2
