Charlie's horse, Star, was getting too heavy eating 3 1/2 pounds of horse feed twice a day. Charlie reduced Star's feed by 3/4 of a pound at each feeding. How much is Star now eating each day?

1 answer

Star was initially eating 3 1/2 pounds * 2 = <<3.5*2=7>>7 pounds of feed each day.
Charlie reduced each feeding by 3/4 pounds, so each feeding is now 3 1/2 - 3/4 = 2.75 pounds,
So, Star is now eating 2.75 pounds * 2 = <<2.75*2=5.5>>5.5 pounds each day. Answer: \boxed{5.5}.
