Answer 1

72 pounds of cat food will feed the cat for 192 days

Explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Amount of cat food the cat eats every day = 3/8 pound

2. For how many days 72 pounds of this cat food feed the cat ?

72 pounds = 576/8 pounds

Now we use this equivalent fraction to calculate the number of days, this way:

576/8 ÷ 3/8 = 576/8 * 8/3 (using the multiplicative inverse)

576/8 * 8/3 = 576/3 = 192

72 pounds of cat food will feed the cat for 192 days
