Answer 2

To determine how long 8 cups of dog food will last, we need to find out how many times the cat is fed in a day.
Ms. Daniels feeds her cat ¼ of a cup of cat food twice each day.
So, the cat is fed ¼ + ¼ = ½ of a cup of cat food each day.
Now, we can calculate how many days 8 cups of dog food will last by dividing the total amount of dog food by the amount of food the cat eats in a day.
8 cups of dog food ÷ ½ cup of food each day = 16 days.
Therefore, 8 cups of dog food will last for 16 days.
The answer is 16 days.

Answer 3

Sure!

In a day, Ms. Daniels feeds her cat ¼ of a cup of cat food twice.
So, in total, the cat eats ¼ + ¼ = ½ cup of cat food each day.

To determine how long 8 cups of dog food will last, we can divide the total amount of dog food by the amount of food the cat eats in a day.

8 cups of dog food ÷ ½ cup of food each day = 16 days.

Therefore, 8 cups of dog food will last for 16 days.
