Jamie has a bag of dog treats. She gives her dogs one-fourth cup of treats each day. If she gives her dogs treats for 7 days, how many cups does she use?
A. 7one-fourth cups
B. 3start fraction 2 over 3 end fraction cups
C. 8 cups
D. 1The fraction is 3 over 4. cups
and now we see why typing math using words is a bad idea.
The answer is indeed seven 1/4-cup servings, or 7/4 cups
But in their weird way of writing mixed numbers,
7one-fourth cups means 7 1/4 cups.
The correct answer is D, 1 3/4 cups
idk why they do that bc they get me mixed up and then i have to look it up which is which and its very comlicated...
To find the answer, we need to calculate the total amount of dog treats that Jamie uses in 7 days.
Given that Jamie gives her dogs one-fourth cup of treats each day, we can multiply this amount by the number of days she gives treats to find the total amount of treats used.
One-fourth cup of treats for 7 days can be calculated as:
(1/4) * 7 = 7/4 cups
So, Jamie uses 7/4 cups of dog treats in 7 days.
Now let's simplify the fraction 7/4:
7/4 = 1 3/4
Therefore, Jamie uses 1 3/4 cups of dog treats in 7 days.
The correct answer is option B: 3 2/3 cups.
The correct answer is:
A. 7 one-fourth cups
Jamie gives her dogs one-fourth cup of treats each day and she does it for 7 days. So, the total amount of treats used is:
1/4 cup per day x 7 days = 7/4 cups or 1 3/4 cups
However, the question asks for the number of cups used (without fractions). Since Jamie cannot use less than one-fourth cup each day, she has to round up to the nearest one-fourth cup. Therefore, the answer is 7 one-fourth cups.
