Your dog eats 7/8 lb of food in 4 meals , how many meals will it take your dog to eat 1 lb of food

Mathematics

choli [55]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 32/7, or 4 4/7 meals

Step-by-step explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios, as follows:

 7/8 lb           4 meals

------------        -------------

    1 lb                   x

x will be the number of meals necessary for the dog to eat 1 lb of food.

Cross-multiplying, (7/8)x = 4.

Multiplying both sides by 8/7 is an easy way to isolate x:

(8/7)(7/8)x = (8/7)(4)

or

              x = 32/7, or 4 4/7 meals

barxatty [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

a) r=d/t ( same as formula of speed)

b) r= 665280/3=221760 feet/hr

c) distance in miles = 665280/5280= 126

so r=126/3 = 42 miles/hr

d) i think using miles makes more sense cz using feet will result in greater number of values so there is a greater chance of human error
