Question

Alice has 2 dogs, ollie and taffy, ollie eats 2/3 of a tin of dog food every day and taffy eats 2/5 of a tin everyday, Alice buys a crate of 24 tins. How many whole days should the crate last?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 + 2/5 = 10/15 + 6/15 = 16/15 tins per day

24 tins divided by 16/15 = 24/1 divided by 16/15

To divide one fraction by another, take reciprocal of the other and then multiply.

24/1 x 15/16 = 360/16 = 22 1/2 days
