Answer:
2/15 pound of dog food
Step-by-step explanation:
John has 4/5 of a pound of dog food left to share equally among 6 dogs in his pet shop. How many pounds of food can he give to each dog?
From the above question, we can deduce that:
6 dogs = 4/5 pound of dog food
1 dog = x pound of dog food
Cross Multiply
6 dogs × x pound = 1 dog × 4/5 pound of dog food
x pound = 1 dog × 4/5 pound of dog food/6 dogs
x pounds = 4/5 ÷ 6
x pounds= 4/5 × 1/6
x pounds = 4/30
x pounds = 2/15 pound of dog food
Therefore,if the dog food is shared equally, he can give each dog 2/15 pound of dog food.
