Answer:

Days can Stefan feed

Coco with the oats he has left is 5 days

Explanation:

Total Oats = 4 1/2 cups

He uses 3 1/4 cups to make granola bars for

a camping trip

Remaining oats after making granola bars = Total oats - oats used for granola bars

= 4 1/2 - 3 1/4

.= 9/2 - 13/4

= 18-13/4

= 5/4 cups

Remaining oats after making granola bars is 5/4 cups

Coco needs 1/4 of a cup of oats each day, how many days can Stefan feed

Coco with the oats he has left?

Days can Stefan feed

Coco with the oats he has left = Remaining oats / 1/4 cups

= 5/4 cups ÷ 1/4 cups

= 5/4 × 4/1

= 20/4

= 5 days

Days can Stefan feed

Coco with the oats he has left is 5 days
