Question

Every 11 days my dog eats 3 cupcakes. How many does my dog eat in 22 days?

Answer 1

The dog eats 6 cupcakes in 22 days.

(don't know why a dog would be eating cupcakes in the first place, but sometimes math questions don't make the most sense)

Answer 2

Answer:

6 cupcakes

Step-by-step explanation:

"Every 11 days, my dog eats 3 cupcakes" can be written as a proportional relationship in fraction form: $\frac{11}{3}$.

Now, let's set a proportion between the values given.

• $\frac{11 days}{3 cupcakes} = \frac{22 days}{x cupcakes}$

As you can see, the number of days is multiplied by 2 to get 22 days. Whatever we do to the numerator, we must do to the denominator. Then, 3 multiplied by 2 is 6.

Therefore, the answer is 6 cupcakes.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
