To find out how much food Fluffy ate each day, we need to divide the total amount of food by the number of days it lasted.
Lily bought a 2-pound bag of food, and after 15 days, Fluffy had eaten all of it.
To find the daily amount of food Fluffy ate, we can calculate it as follows:
\[
\text{Daily food intake} = \frac{\text{Total food}}{\text{Number of days}} = \frac{2 \text{ pounds}}{15 \text{ days}} = \frac{2}{15} \text{ pounds}
\]
Thus, Fluffy ate \(\frac{2}{15}\) pounds of food each day.
