A pet store has 2 cats to feed.If they only had one-sixth of a bag of cat food and each got the same amount, what fraction of the bag would each cat get.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Each cat will get one-twelfth of a bag of cat food.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given the number of cats is 2 and they only had one-sixth of a bag of cat food.

[tex]\text{Total available cat food}=\frac{1}{6}\text{ bag}[/tex]

This food is divided between both cats equally.

Divide the total food by 2.

[tex]\text{Cat food for each cat}=\frac{\frac{1}{6}}{2}\text{ bag}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Cat food for each cat}=\frac{1}{12}\text{ bag}[/tex]

Therefore each cat will get one-twelfth of a bag of cat food.
