Hank buys his dog food in bulk. He recently just bought a 5 lb. bag of food. If he uses a scooper that holds 1/8 of a cup of food, how many days can he feed his dog?

A pound of dog food roughly translates to four cups.

5 lbs. = 20 cups

How much food does Hank feed his dog a day?

I dont know it does not make sence

To find out how many days Hank can feed his dog, we need to determine how many cups of food are in a 5 lb. bag and then divide it by the amount of food his scooper holds.

Step 1: Convert pounds to cups
One pound of dog food is approximately equal to 3.6 cups. Therefore, a 5 lb. bag is equal to:
5 lb. * 3.6 cups/lb. = 18 cups

Step 2: Determine the number of days
Since Hank's scooper holds 1/8 of a cup of food, we need to divide the total cups of food by the amount of food the scooper holds:
18 cups / (1/8 cup/scoop) = 18 cups * (8 scoops/cup) = 144 scoops

Hence, Hank can feed his dog for 144 days with the 5 lb. bag of food using the 1/8 cup scooper.

To calculate the number of days Hank can feed his dog, we need to determine how many scoops are in a 5 lb. bag of food.

First, we need to convert pounds to cups, as 1 lb. is equivalent to approximately 2.27 cups. So, a 5 lb. bag of food will be approximately 11.35 cups.

Next, we need to find out how many scoops are in one cup. Since the scooper holds 1/8 of a cup, we can multiply 1/8 by 1 to get the number of scoops in one cup, which is 8.

Now, to find the total number of scoops in the 5 lb. bag of food, we multiply the number of scoops in one cup (8) by the number of cups in the bag (11.35):

Total scoops = 8 scoops/cup * 11.35 cups = 90.8 scoops

Since you can't have a fraction of a scoop, we need to round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, there are 90 scoops in the 5 lb. bag of food.

Finally, we divide the number of scoops (90) by the number of scoops per day to determine how many days Hank can feed his dog:

Number of days = Total scoops / Scoops per day

Assuming Hank feeds his dog one scoop per day, we have:

Number of days = 90 scoops / 1 scoop per day = 90 days

Therefore, Hank can feed his dog for approximately 90 days with a 5 lb. bag of food using a scooper that holds 1/8 of a cup.
