Answer:
[tex]5\frac{3}{10}[/tex] cans extra food is needed to feed the second cat.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
When chad had one cat he needed to serve 1/5 of a can of cat food each day. Now that chad adopted a second cat he needs to serve a total of 11/2 cans each day.
Now, to find the extra food is needed to feed the second cat.
Food needed for one cat = [tex]\frac{1}{5}\ of\ can.[/tex]
Food needed for both one and second cat needed = [tex]\frac{11}{2}\ =5\frac{1}{2}\ cans.[/tex]
Now, extra food needed to feed the second cat:
Food needed for both one and second cat needed - food needed for one cat.
[tex]\frac{11}{2} -\frac{1}{5}\\\\=\frac{55-2}{10} \\\\=\frac{53}{10}[/tex]
[tex]=5\frac{3}{10}\ cans.[/tex]
Therefore, [tex]5\frac{3}{10}\ cans[/tex] extra food is needed to feed the second cat.
