When chad had one cat he needed to serve 1/5 of a can of cat food each day. Now that chad adopted a second cat he needs to serve

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

$5\frac{3}{10}$ cans extra food is needed to feed the second cat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

When chad had one cat he needed to serve 1/5 of a can of cat food each day. Now that chad adopted a second cat he needs to serve a total of 11/2 cans each day.

Now, to find the extra food is needed to feed the second cat.

Food needed for one cat = $\frac{1}{5}\ of\ can.$

Food needed for both one and second cat needed = $\frac{11}{2}\ =5\frac{1}{2}\ cans.$

Now, extra food needed to feed the second cat:

Food needed for both one and second cat needed - food needed for one cat.

$\frac{11}{2} -\frac{1}{5}\\\\=\frac{55-2}{10} \\\\=\frac{53}{10}$

$=5\frac{3}{10}\ cans.$

Therefore, $5\frac{3}{10}\ cans$ extra food is needed to feed the second cat.
