Answer 1

7 1/2 weeks the food will last.

Answer 2

`7(1)/(2)` weeks

Explanation:

She has 3/4 bags of cat food.

Her cat eats 1/10 bag of cat food every week.

To find how many weeks the cat food will last, we have to divide the number of bags that she has by the number of bags that the cat eats per week:

`((3)/(4) )/((1)/(10)) = (3 * 10)/(4)`

= 30/4 =
`7(1)/(2)` weeks

The food will last for
`7(1)/(2)` weeks.
