Step 1
Karl has 12lbs of cat food.
To find how many 1/4lb servings of cat food he can get we do
[tex]\frac{12}{x}\text{ =}\frac{1}{4}lb\text{ }[/tex][tex]x=\text{ 48, }\frac{1}{4}\text{ lb servings of cat food}[/tex]Step 2
Yes, I will agree with Karl's reasoning based on 1/4 lb servings of dog food and cat food.
[tex]\begin{gathered} To\text{ find out how many 1/4lb of dog food we will get we do} \\ \frac{20}{y}=\frac{1}{4}lb \\ y\text{ = 80, }\frac{1}{4}\text{lb servings of dog food} \end{gathered}[/tex]80 1/4lb servings of dog food is greater than 48 1/4lb servings of cat food.
