Responses
A. Buddy will eat more dog food at 1.25 lb. per day.
B. Buddy will eat more dog food at 1.5 lb. per day.
C. Bingo will eat more dog food at 1.5 lb. per day.
D. Bingo will eat more dog food at 1.25 lb. per day.
To find out which dog will eat more dog food per day, we can divide the weight of the bag of dog food by the number of days it will take for the dog to finish it.
For Bingo: 15 lb. / 10 days = 1.5 lb. per day
For Buddy: 20 lb. / 16 days = 1.25 lb. per day
Therefore, Bingo will eat more dog food per day at 1.5 lb. per day. The answer is C.
