5. One cup of dry dog food weighs 1 4/5 ounces. A K9 dog eats 6 1/3 cups of food a day. How many ounces of food does the dog eat each day?

Answer 1

One cup of dog food = 1 4/5 oz

The dog eats 6 1/3 cups a day, which is

$\begin{gathered} 6\frac{1}{3}\times1\frac{4}{5}\text{ = }\frac{19}{3}\times\frac{9}{5}=\frac{171}{15}=\text{ 11}\frac{6}{15}\text{ ounces} \\ 11\frac{6}{15}=\text{ 11}\frac{2}{3}\text{ ounces} \end{gathered}$
