Bethany is having a neighbor watch her dog while she is gone for the week. She decides to take \large \frac{7}{8} of a pound of dog food and put it into 7 containers equally. How much dog food will be in each container?

7 = 7*1

7/8 = 7 * 1/8

6.125 To find out how much dog food will be in each container, we need to divide the total amount of dog food by the number of containers.

Given that Bethany has taken \(\frac{7}{8}\) of a pound of dog food and wants to divide it equally among 7 containers, we can use division to find the amount of dog food in each container.

First, let's convert the fraction \(\frac{7}{8}\) into a decimal. To do this, we divide the numerator (7) by the denominator (8):

\(\frac{7}{8} = 0.875\)

Now, let's divide the total amount of dog food (0.875 pounds) by the number of containers (7):

\(0.875 \, \text{pounds} \div 7 \, \text{containers} = 0.125 \, \text{pounds}\)

Therefore, each container will have 0.125 pounds of dog food.
