Answer 1

Answer:

option D : 69/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Emma has  $56 \frac{37}{40}$ bags of dog food to feed all of the dogs at the animal shelter.

$56 \frac{37}{40}=\frac{2240+37}{40}=\frac{2277}{40}$

The dogs each eat 81⁄4 bags of food per week.

$8 \frac{1}{4}=\frac{32+1}{4}=\frac{33}{4}$

Number of weeks worth food Emma have =

Number of bags Emma has / number of bags dogs eat

Number of weeks worth food Emma have =$\frac{\frac{2277}{40}}{\frac{33}{4}}$

= $\frac{2277}{40}}*{\frac{4}{33}= \frac{2277}{10* 33} = \frac{69}{10}$

Number of weeks worth food Emma have = 69/10
