Kendall feeds her cat a total of 45 cup of food every day. She feeds it 12 cup of food in the evening. Solve an equation to find how much food she gives to the cat the rest of the day. Write your answer in fraction form only.(1 point)
and what number would i put in the box?
Let x be the amount of food Kendall gives to her cat the rest of the day.
The total amount of food given to the cat every day is 45 cups, so the equation to represent this is:
x + 12 = 45
Subtract 12 from both sides to solve for x:
x = 45 - 12
x = 33
Therefore, Kendall gives the cat 33 cups of food the rest of the day, which can be written as 33/1 in fraction form.
