927 is your answer 10.3*90 use a calculator brainliest answer me
Well, then I'm guessing you're only feeding 90 of them since 10 of the dogs are sleeping. If so, then set up a proportion:

[tex] \frac{number of dogs}{amount of food} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{100}{10.3}[/tex]

A proportion is a two fractions set equal to eachother. So, the second fraction will be the number of dogs over x. X will be the amount of food the dogs will get.

[tex] \frac{90}{x} [/tex]

Set the two equations equal to eachother

[tex] \frac{100}{10.3} = \frac{90}{x} [/tex]

To solve a proportion, cross multiply

100 x X = 100x

90 x 10.3 = 927

100x = 927

Divide 100

x = 9.27

So, the dogs will receive 9.27 of food
