Question

Brian agrees to watch his neighbor’s dogs for 7 days. His neighbor provides a 128-ounce bag of dog food. Buster eats 20.5 ounces in 2 days and Roxy eats 22.5 ounces in 3 days. Does Brian have enough food to feed the dogs all 7 days? Explain.

Answer 1

Yes, he has exactly the right amount

Explanation:

Buster- 20. 5 = 2 days 20.5+20.5+20.5+10.25= 71.75 for 7 days

Roxy- 22.5= 3 days 22.5+22.5+11.25=56.25 for 7 days

71.75+56.25= 128oz

Brian will have exactly enough food for 7 days
