Kendall feeds her cat a total of 45 cup of food every day. She feeds it 12 cup of food in the evening. Solve an equation to find how much food she gives to the cat the rest of the day. Write your answer in fraction form only. and step by step please

Answer 1

Let x be the amount of food Kendall gives to her cat the rest of the day.

Given that she feeds her cat a total of 45 cups of food every day, and 12 cups in the evening, the equation can be represented as:

x + 12 = 45

Subtract 12 from both sides to isolate x:

x = 45 - 12
x = 33

Therefore, Kendall gives her cat 33/1 cups of food the rest of the day.
