Answer:

About 6 days.

Explanation:

Given:

Mary beth has 41.8 pounds of horse feed left to feed her horses.

She feeds her horse 7 pounds of horse feed a day.

Question asked:

About how many days will the house feed last?

Solution:

Total pounds of horse feed left = 41.8

Total pounds of horse feed a day = 7

Now, to find number of days the horse feed last, we will simply divide total pounds of horse feed left by total pounds of horse feed a day:-

41.8
/ 7 = 5.97

Therefore, about 6 days the horse feed last.
