Question

When Mia had one cat,she needed to serve 1/6 of a can of cat food each day. Now that Mia has adopted a second cat,she needs to serve a total of 5/6 of a can each day. How kind much extra food is needed to feed the second cat

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore,

$\textrm{For Second Cat } =\dfrac{2}{3}\times Can$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mia Serve food for One Cat

$\textrm{For One Cat} =\dfrac{1}{6}\times Can$

Mia Serve food for Two Cat

$\textrm{For Two Cat} =\dfrac{5}{6}\times Can$

To Find:

How much extra food is needed to feed the second cat = ?

Solution:

$\textrm{For One Cat} =\dfrac{1}{6}\times Can$

$\textrm{For Two Cat or Total} =\dfrac{5}{6}\times Can$

Therefore,

$\textrm{For Second Cat } =\textrm{For Two Cat or Total}-\textrm{For One Cat}$

Substituting we get

$\textrm{For Second Cat } =\dfrac{5}{6}\times Can-\dfrac{1}{6}\times Can$

$\textrm{For Second Cat } =\dfrac{5-1}{6}\times Can=\dfrac{4}{6}\times can=\dfrac{2}{3}\times Can$

Therefore,

$\textrm{For Second Cat } =\dfrac{2}{3}\times Can$
