To find out how many dogs would be fed with a 13-pound bag of dog food, we can set up a proportion:
26 pounds of dog food -> 40 dogs
13 pounds of dog food -> x dogs
Using cross multiplication:
26 * x = 13 * 40
Simplifying the equation, we get:
26x = 520
Dividing both sides by 26:
x = 20
Therefore, you would expect to feed 20 dogs with a 13-pound bag of dog food.
