Question

Haley bought a 3-pound bag of cat food. She feeds her cat 6 ounces of cat food each day. Will the bag of cat food be enough to feed her cat for 7 days? Use the drop-down menus to explain.

Answer 1

a -pound bag of cat food can enough to feed her cat for 7 days

Explanation:

Given:

• 3-pound bag of cat food
• 6 ounces of cat used per day

Number of cat food used in 7 days (in ounces): 7*6 = 42 ounces

As we know,1 pound (lb) is equal to 16 Ounces (oz)

<=> 42 ounces = 42 /16 = 2.625 pounds < 3-pound bag

So a -pound bag of cat food can enough to feed her cat for 7 days

Hope it will find you well.

Answer 2

Yes it will

Explanation:

Let's first work with a single unit so that our work will be a lot easier.

We are going to convert pounds to ounces and since 1 pound = 16 ounces, 3 pounds = 16 × 3 = 48 ounces of cat food.

And she feeds her cat 6 ounces of food each day,that means that in 7 days the cat will only be able to consume just 7 × 6 = 42 ounces,but remember that the amount of cat food bought is equal to 48 pounds.

This here means that the cat food will be enough to feed the cat for 7 days
