Question

A newborn eats 8 times a day. At each feeding, he eats 2.5 ounces of formula. How many days would it take to eat 100 ounces

Answer 1

Answer:

It will take 5 days to eat 100 ounces.

Explanation:

He eats 8 times a day.

Each time he eats, he eats 2.5 ounces.

This means that he eats 20 ounces a day, since 8 x 2.5 is 20.

We now know that he eats 20 ounces a day.

To figure out many days it would take for him to eat 100 ounces, we set up an equation.

20x = 100

The x represents the number of days that it will take for him to eat 100 ounce, and the 20 represents the number of ounces that he eat a day.

20x = 100

Divide both sides by 20, to make solve for x.

20x = 100

/20    /20

x = 5

It will take 5 days for the baby to eat 100 ounces.
