Let x represent the amount of food Oliver gives his dog for the rest of the day.
The total amount of food Oliver feeds his dog is 3/4 cup. The amount of food Oliver gives his dog in the morning is 1/3 cup.
So, the equation for the amount of food Oliver gives his dog for the rest of the day can be written as:
x + 1/3 = 3/4
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
x = 3/4 - 1/3
To find a common denominator, we can multiply 3/4 by 3/3 and 1/3 by 4/4.
x = (9/12) - (4/12)
x = 5/12
Therefore, Oliver gives his dog 5/12 cup of food for the rest of the day.
Oliver feeds his dog a total of 3/4 cup of food everyday in the morning he gives his dog one over three cup of food so I have an equation to find how much food over gives to his dog the rest of the day
