Question

Fin feeds his puppy 1/2 of a cup of food 3 times per day Finn has 4 1/2 cups of food left how many days will it take to use all the food

Answer 1

`Days = 3`

Explanation:

Given

`Cup\ Size = 4(1)/(2)\ cups`

`Feed\ Size = (1)/(2)\ cups`

`Duration = 3 (daily)`

First, we need to determine the total cup size in a day;

`Total = Feed\ Size * Frequency`

`Total = (1)/(2) * 3`

`Total = (3)/(2)`

Lastly, we subtract this from the given cup size;

`Days = 4(1)/(2)/(3)/(2)`

`Days = (9)/(2)/(3)/(2)`

`Days = (9)/(2)*(2)/(3)`

`Days = (18)/(6)`

`Days = 3`
