To determine how long 8 cups of dog food will last, we need to find out how many times the cat is fed in a day.
Ms. Daniels feeds her cat ¼ of a cup of cat food twice each day.
So, the cat is fed ¼ + ¼ = ½ of a cup of cat food each day.
Now, we can calculate how many days 8 cups of dog food will last by dividing the total amount of dog food by the amount of food the cat eats in a day.
8 cups of dog food ÷ ½ cup of food each day = 16 days.
Therefore, 8 cups of dog food will last for 16 days.
The answer is 16 days.

In a day, Ms. Daniels feeds her cat ¼ of a cup of cat food twice.
So, in total, the cat eats ¼ + ¼ = ½ cup of cat food each day.
To determine how long 8 cups of dog food will last, we can divide the total amount of dog food by the amount of food the cat eats in a day.
8 cups of dog food ÷ ½ cup of food each day = 16 days.
Therefore, 8 cups of dog food will last for 16 days.
To find out how long 8 cups of cat food will last, we need to calculate the number of cups of cat food the cat eats each day and then divide it into the total amount of food.
Ms. Daniels feeds her cat ¼ of a cup of cat food twice each day. This means the cat eats ¼ + ¼ = ½ cup of food each day.
To determine how many days the cat food will last, we divide the total amount of food (8 cups) by the amount of food eaten per day (½ cup).
8 cups / ½ cup = 16
Therefore, 8 cups of cat food will last for 16 days.
The answer is 16 days.
