Respuesta :

Sara needs 4.75 cans of 40 packages of Cute Puppy to feed her puppies for two months.

To determine the number of can packages of cute puppies that Sara needs to purchase, we need to divide the total number of cans eaten by the two puppies by the 40 can package using a fraction method.

What is a Fraction?

A fraction is a number that shows the numerator and denominator separated by a division line.

Sara has two puppies:

  • Sonny
  • Cher

  • If Sonny eats 8.25 cans of food per week
  • Cher eats 15.5 cans of food per week

Since Sonny eats 8.25 can of food per week.

There are 8 weeks In two months. As such, Sonny will eat:

  • = (8.25 × 8) cans
  • = 66 cans in two months

Cher will eat (15.5 × 8) cans in two months

  • = 124 cans in two months

The total number of cans eaten by the two puppies is:

  • =(66 + 124) cans
  • = 190 cans

Recall that:

  • Sara purchases 40 can variety pack of Cute Puppy food for $21

Therefore;

= (190 /40) cans

= 4.75 cans
