a) Number of days the bag will last = 12.5 days
b) The answer lies between 12 and 13.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Total quantity of the dog food = 25 pounds
Total quantity of food the dog eats per day = 2 pounds
We need to find number of days the bag will last
Step 2 :
The number of days the food will last can be obtained by dividing the total quantity of food by the quantity consumed per day.
Hence
Number of days = [tex]\frac{25}{2}[/tex] = 12.5 days
The answer lies between 12 and 13.
Step 3:
Answer :
a) Number of days the bag will last = 12.5 days
b) The answer lies between 12 and 13.
