Margaret feeds her dog about 300 grams of dog food with each meal. If she feeds her dog twice a day, about how many kilograms of food does she need to feed her dog for a week?
300 * 2 * 7 = ?
To determine the amount of food Margaret needs to feed her dog for a week, we need to calculate the total amount of food consumed per day, and then multiply it by the number of days in a week.
First, we know that Margaret feeds her dog 300 grams of dog food per meal, and that she feeds her dog twice a day. So, we can calculate the total amount of food consumed per day by multiplying the amount of food per meal by the number of meals:
300 grams/meal * 2 meals/day = 600 grams/day
Next, we need to convert grams to kilograms since the question asks for the answer in kilograms. There are 1000 grams in a kilogram, so we can divide the total amount of food consumed per day (in grams) by 1000 to get the amount in kilograms:
600 grams/day / 1000 = 0.6 kilograms/day
Now that we know the amount of food consumed per day, we can multiply it by 7 to calculate the total amount needed for a week:
0.6 kilograms/day * 7 days/week = 4.2 kilograms/week
Therefore, Margaret needs to feed her dog approximately 4.2 kilograms of food for a week.
