Answer 1

To find the day when the animals were fed the least amount of food, we need to calculate the total amount of food fed to the animals for each day.

• Friday:

  • Cats: 6.5 pounds
  • Dogs: 8.45 pounds
  • Rabbits: 1.2 pounds
  • Total = 6.5 + 8.45 + 1.2 = 16.15 pounds

• Saturday:

  • Cats: 8.875 pounds
  • Dogs: 4.625 pounds
  • Rabbits: 2.4 pounds
  • Total = 8.875 + 4.625 + 2.4 = 16.9 pounds

• Sunday:

  • Cats: 4.1 pounds
  • Dogs: 3.2 pounds
  • Rabbits: 2.125 pounds
  • Total = 4.1 + 3.2 + 2.125 = 9.425 pounds

• Monday:

  • Cats: 6.25 pounds
  • Dogs: (not provided)
  • Rabbits: 2.125 pounds
  • Total = 6.25 + 0 + 2.125 = 8.375 pounds (assuming no food was provided for dogs as it is missing)

Now, comparing the totals:

• Friday: 16.15 pounds
• Saturday: 16.9 pounds
• Sunday: 9.425 pounds
• Monday: 8.375 pounds

The day when the animals were fed the least food is Monday.
