To find out how much food Oliver gives his dog for the rest of the day, we can calculate the remaining food after the morning feeding.
Oliver gives his dog 1/3 cup of food in the morning.
Since he feeds the dog a total of 3/4 cup of food every day, the remaining food for the rest of the day would be 3/4 - 1/3 cup.
To solve the equation, we need to find a common denominator for 4 and 3, which is 12.
3/4 cup is the same as 9/12 cup.
1/3 cup is the same as 4/12 cup.
Thus, the equation becomes: 9/12 - 4/12 = 5/12 cup.
Therefore, Oliver gives his dog 5/12 cup of food for the rest of the day.
