Answer:
He can have 40 guinea pigs in the store.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Jonas runs a pet store that sells guinea pigs, and he wants to ensure he has more than 1 pound of dry food for every five guinea pigs he has in the store, and he currently has 8 pounds of dry food, to know how many guinea pigs can he have in the store, the following equation must be performed:
1 = 5
8 = X
8 x 5 = X
40 = X
Therefore, he can have 40 guinea pigs in the store.
