Question

Sherman has 3 cats and 2 dogs. He wants to buy a toy for each of his pets. Sherman has $22 to spend on pet toys. How much can he spend on each pet. Write your answer as a fraction.

Answer 1

18$ for cats and 4$ for dogs

18/4

9/2

Answer 2

The proper equation would be the amount of money he has to spend ($22) and the number of pets (5). So the equation would look like this:

22 ÷ 5 = 4.4

Let’s check our work:

4.4 x 5 = 22

Therefore, he should spend $4.40 on each pet
