Jillian goes to the pet store to buy food for his dogs. He buys a 15-lb. bag of dog food for his dog Bingo, who will finish it in 10 days. He buys a 20-lb. bag of dog food for his dog Buddy, who will finish it in 16 days. Which dog will eat more dog

1 answer

To determine which dog will eat more dog food, we need to calculate the amount of dog food each dog consumes per day.

For Bingo:
Bingo finishes a 15-lb. bag in 10 days.
Therefore, he consumes 15 lbs / 10 days = 1.5 lbs of dog food per day.

For Buddy:
Buddy finishes a 20-lb. bag in 16 days.
Therefore, he consumes 20 lbs / 16 days = 1.25 lbs of dog food per day.

Comparing the amounts, we can see that Jillian's dog Bingo eats more dog food than Buddy.
