Question

1.) A kitten eats 1/4 cup of cat food. Another cat in the same household eats 6 times as much. How much food does the cat eat?

Answer 1

1) 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 1 Cup and a half.

Answer 2

1.) 1/4×6/1=6/4=3/2
       simplified it equals 1 1/2

2.) 2 1/2×3/1
       for me i would make 2 1/2 into an improper fraction so:
      5/2×6/1=30/2=15/1
      15/1 equals 15

1.)the cat ate 1 1/2 cup of cat food
2.)the piece of lumber was 15 feet long
