Question

A.Tyler feeds his puppy 5/6 cup of food at each meal. How many 1/6 cups does he feed his puppy at each meal?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 5

B. $(\frac{5}{6} \times 3) = \frac{5}{2}$

C. 5 cups of food will not be enough.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Tyler feeds his puppy $\frac{5}{6}$ cups of food at each meal.

So, the number of $\frac{1}{6}$ cups meals that he feeds his puppy is 5, because $\frac{5}{6} = 5 \times \frac{1}{6}$.

B. If Tyler feeds his puppy 3 meals a day then the amount of food that he feeds each day will be $(\frac{5}{6} \times 3) = \frac{5}{2}$ cups.

C. Therefore, for 4 days the amount of food required to feed his puppy will be $(\frac{5}{2} \times 4) = 10$ cups of food.

But, Tyler has 5 cups of food and this will not be sufficient for him to feed his puppy for 4 days. (Answer)
