Question

the dog needs a 1/3 of a cup of dog food each day. the bag holds 5 cups of dog food how many days will it last ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

15 days

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 5 cups of food, and you give him 1/3 a day.

So, 5 divided by 1/3, which would get you 15 days. Or you could cross-multiply, meaning you multiply across, but in this case I just made them line up so you can see how to do it.$(food)/(cupsperday) = 5/\frac{1}{3} \\OR\\\frac{(food)}{1}*(cupsperday) = \frac{5}{1} *\frac{3}{1}$
