Answer:
18 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Each cat eats 1/4 of the thin in a day, so between the two cats they eat:
[tex]1/4 + 1/4 =2/4 =1/2[/tex] of the tin in one day.
if the two cats eat 1/2 of the tin in one day, this means that in 2 days they eat a whole tin of cat food.
we can represent this as follows
days tins of cat food
2 1
and because she has 9 tins of cat food, and x represents the quantity of days:
days tins of cat food
2 1
x 9
thus, we must multiply cross quantities from the table and divide by the remaining amount:
x = 2*9/1 = 18
the 9 tins of cat food will last 18 days
