Question

2. Brandon has 4 1/2 cups of oats. He uses 3 1/4 cups to make oats for a camping trip. He saves the rest of the oats to feed to his bird, Coco. If Coco needs ¼ of a cup of oats each day, how many days can Brandon feed Coco with the oats he has left? Answer must be a whole number

Answer 1

4 1/2 - 3 1/4

.= 9/2 - 13/4

= 18-13/4

= 5/4 cups

= 5/4 cups ÷ 1/4 cups

= 5/4 × 4/1

= 20/4

= 5 days

Days can Brandon feed
