Question

Gabbi purchased a 30 lb. bag of dog food. Gabbi has 3 dogs that each eat 20 ounces of dog food per day. How many days will the bag of dog food last?

​(1 pound = 16 ounces)

Answer 1

The bag of dog food will last 8 days.

Explanation:

Gabbi purchased a 30 lb. bag of dog food.

Since 1 lb = 16 ounces, she bought 30*16 = 480 pounds of food.

Gabbi has 3 dogs that each eat 20 ounces of dog food per day.

So in all, 3*20 = 60 ounces of food are eaten a day.

How many days will the bag of dog food last?

1 day - 60 ounces

x days - 480 ounces

`60x = 480`

`x = (480)/(60)`

`x = 8`

The bag of dog food will last 8 days.
