Answer:
11.39 ounces of dog food a day .
Step-by-step explanation:
One cup of dog food weighs 1 \(\frac{4}{y5}\) ounces and a police dog eats 6 \(\frac{1}{3}\) cups of food a day. We can use conversion factors to convert the number of cups to ounces. We have the follwing information:
1 cup = 1 \(\frac{4}{y5}\)
∴ 1 cup = 1.8 ounces
and 6 1/3 = 6.33 cups
We can determine the ounces the dog eats each day as:
= 6.33 cups of dog food × 1.8 ounces/1 cup = 11.39 ounces of dog food a day
The dog eats 11.39 ounces of dog food a day
