Answer:

72 pounds of cat food will feed the cat for 192 days

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Amount of cat food the cat eats every day = 3/8 pound

2. For  how many days 72 pounds of this cat food feed the cat ?

72 pounds = 576/8 pounds

576/8 * 8/3 = 576/3 = 192

72 pounds of cat food will feed the cat for 192 days
