Question

5. Nick's cat eats 6 cups of dry food every 4 days. His sister says that is the same as 15 cups of dry food in 10 days. Is

Nick's sister correct? Explain or show your reasoning?

Answer 1

Answer: Nick sister is correct.

Explanation:
So, if the cat consumes 6 cups of dry food in 4 days, it works out to be 1.5 cups of food consumed each day.
6/4 = 1.5
Additionally, consuming 1.5 cups of dry food every day for 10 days is equivalent to eating 15 cups of dry food.

1.5 = 1.5
