Question

Rodney bought a 50 pound bag of dog food. HIS dog ate 2/5 of the food in the first mon th and 2/10 of the food in the second month. How much dog food, in pounds was remaining in the bag at the end of the two months? Show your work

Answer 1

Answer:

20 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5ths of the food would be 20 pounds because:

2/5 * 50 = 20

2/10ths of the food would be 10 pounds because:

2/10 * 50 = 10

If we add those two together, we would get the total amount that the dog ate, which would be 30 pounds. SInce the dog ate 30 pounds of food out of the 50 pounds, there would be 20 pounds left in the bag at the end of two months:

50- ( 20+ 10) = 20
