Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
classs 1, because higher number has a better chance of giving higher number
Quotient is the result of division. Assign a variable to the unknown number. Let's make it x. Write the statement as an equation.
x/5 - 10 = 3
solve for x
x/5 - 10 = 3
x/5 = 3 + 10
x/5 = 13
x = 5 × 13
x = 65
70 / 35 = 2
So the 70 pound dog weights double the weight of the 35 pound dog, so he will eat twice as much.
2 x 2.5 = 5 cups
Meaning he will eat 5 cups of dry dog food a day.
By the same logic a 140 pound dog would have to eat twice what a 70 pound dog eats, that is 10 cups of dry dog food a day, so 7 1/2 cups are not enough.
Challenge: per pound a dog eats more than a cat. Since you know a 140 pound dog eats 10 cups, you can dive 140 by 10, to find out that each cup feeds 14 pounds, so half a cup would be the amount of food to feed a 7 pound dog, meaning that a dog weighing 1 pound less than a 8 pound cat would need the same amount of food, so it eats more than a cat.

i do not remember how to solve this but i just answered a question that had this problem in it on my algebra test and that is the right answer
