Question

Owen runs a pet store that sells rabbits. He wants to ensure he has more than 1 pound of dry food for every four rabbits he has in the store, and he currently has 5.7 pounds of dry food. Write and solve an inequality for the scenario. How many rabbits can Owen have in the store?

Answer 2

0.25 pounds= 1 rabbit.
Let say he has 23 rabbits, but the he would need an extra 0.05 pound of dry food for the 23rd rabbit.
But if he has 22 rabbits, then Owen has .2 pounds of dry food to spare.
The answer would be 22 rabbits.
