Answer 2

Answer:

24 dogs.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that 24 lb bag of dog food will feed 36 dogs a day. We are asked to find the number of dogs that can be feed with a 16 pound dog bag of food.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem as:        

$\frac{\text{Dogs feed}}{\text{Amount of dog food}}=\frac{36}{24}$

Upon substituting amount of dog food equal to 16, we will get:

$\frac{\text{Dogs feed}}{16}=\frac{36}{24}$

$\frac{\text{Dogs feed}}{16}\times 16=\frac{36}{24}\times 16$

$\text{Dogs feed}=\frac{36}{3}\times 2$

$\text{Dogs feed}=12\times 2$

$\text{Dogs feed}=24$

Therefore, we can feed 24 dogs with a 16 pound dog bag of food.
