An ocicat eats 3/5 of a pound of food daily. How many ocicats can a 19 1/2 -pound bag of food feed for one week? Explain your solution.

Answer 1

13 ocicats

Explanation:

Here, we are told that an Ocicat eats 3/5 pounds of food per day.

Now, we have a bag of 19 1/2 pound of food and we want to know the number of ocicats this will feed

What we just need to do is to divide the weight of the bag by the amount in pounds that can feed a single ocicat

Thus, we have;

19 1/2 divided by 3/5

= 39/5 divided by 3/5

= 39/5 * 5/3

= 13 Ocicats
