Question

At a dog shelter, a 26-pound bag of dog food will feed 40 dogs. How many dogs would you expect to feed with a 13-pound bag of dog food? (Input only whole numbers.)

Pounds of Dog Food 13 26 52
Number of Dogs Fed ? 40 80

Answer 1

a 13lb bag of dog food will feed 20 dogs

26 divided by 2 is 13 so a bag of dog food that feeds 40 dogs cut in half will feed 20 dogs.

Answer 2

20

Explanation:

If 26 pound can feed 40 dogs, then halfing the amount of food mean halfing the amount of dogs fed. 40 / 2 = 20
