Answer:
[tex]Days = 3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Cup\ Size = 4\frac{1}{2}\ cups[/tex]
[tex]Feed\ Size = \frac{1}{2}\ cups[/tex]
[tex]Duration = 3 (daily)[/tex]
First, we need to determine the total cup size in a day;
[tex]Total = Feed\ Size * Frequency[/tex]
[tex]Total = \frac{1}{2} * 3[/tex]
[tex]Total = \frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Lastly, we subtract this from the given cup size;
[tex]Days = 4\frac{1}{2}/\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Days = \frac{9}{2}/\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Days = \frac{9}{2}*\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
[tex]Days = \frac{18}{6}[/tex]
[tex]Days = 3[/tex]
