Question

When Mia had one cat,she needed to serve 1/6 of a can of cat food each day. Now that Mia has adopted a second cat,she needs to serve a total of 5/6 of a can each day. How kind much extra food is needed to feed the second cat

Answer 1

Therefore,

`\textrm{For Second Cat } =(2)/(3)* Can`

Explanation:

Given:

Mia Serve food for One Cat

`\textrm{For One Cat} =(1)/(6)* Can`

Mia Serve food for Two Cat

`\textrm{For Two Cat} =(5)/(6)* Can`

To Find:

How much extra food is needed to feed the second cat = ?

Solution:

`\textrm{For One Cat} =(1)/(6)* Can`

`\textrm{For Two Cat or Total} =(5)/(6)* Can`

Therefore,

`\textrm{For Second Cat } =\textrm{For Two Cat or Total}-\textrm{For One Cat}`

Substituting we get

`\textrm{For Second Cat } =(5)/(6)* Can-(1)/(6)* Can`

`\textrm{For Second Cat } =(5-1)/(6)* Can=(4)/(6)* can=(2)/(3)* Can`

Therefore,

`\textrm{For Second Cat } =(2)/(3)* Can`
