The stock of cat food will last for 149 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Bags of cat food in stock = 112

Bags used each week = $\frac{3}{4}\ of\ one\ bag$

Let,

x be the number of weeks.

Therefore,

$\frac{3}{4}x=112$

Multiplying both sides by 4/3

$\frac{4}{3}*\frac{3}{4}x=112*\frac{4}{3}\\x=\frac{448}{3}\\x=149.33$

Rounding off to nearest whole number;

x=149

The stock of cat food will last for 149 weeks.
