Jillian goes to the pet store to buy food for his dogs. He buys a 15-lb. bag of dog food for his dog
Bingo, who will finish it in 10 days. He buys a 20-lb. bag of dog food for his dog Buddy, who will finish
it in 16 days. Which dog will eat more dog food per day, Bingo or Buddy? How much food will that dog
eat?(1 point)
Bingo will eat more dog food at 1.25 lb. per day.
Buddy will eat more dog food at 1.5 lb. per day.
Bingo will eat more dog food at 1.5 lb. per day.
Buddy will eat more dog food at 1.25 lb. per day
To determine which dog will eat more dog food per day, we need to calculate the amount of food each dog consumes per day.
For Bingo:
Bingo finishes a 15-lb. bag of dog food in 10 days.
Therefore, Bingo eats 15 lb. / 10 days = 1.5 lb. of dog food per day.
For Buddy:
Buddy finishes a 20-lb. bag of dog food in 16 days.
Therefore, Buddy eats 20 lb. / 16 days = 1.25 lb. of dog food per day.
From the calculations above, Buddy will eat more dog food per day at 1.25 lb.
