Vanessa's dog eats 28 cups of dog food in two weeks. She is using a double number line to determine how many cups of food her dog eats in five weeks.

Question

First, complete the double number line with the proper labels, and then complete the statement below.

Answer 1

We can first find out how many cups her dog eats in one week:

28 cups for 2 weeks = 28/2 = <<28/2=14>>14 cups per week

Then, we can multiply this number by 5 to find out how many cups her dog eats in five weeks:

14 cups per week * 5 weeks = <<14*5=70>>70 cups

So the completed double number line is:

| 0 ratios | 14 cups |
| 1 ratios | 28 cups |
| 2 ratios | 42 cups |
| 3 ratios | 56 cups |
| 4 ratios | 70 cups |

The statement: Vanessa's dog eats 70 cups of food in five weeks.
