Apound of guinea pig pellets is about 3 cups of food. each guinea pig eats 1/4 cup is pellets a day. how many days will the pellet last? explain

The pellet will last after 12 days

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets change the story problem to equations to solve it

- There is a pound of guinea pig pellets

- One pound of pellets is about three cups of food

- Each guinea pig eats 1/4 cup of pellets a day

* Lets use these information to solve the problem

∵ One pound of guinea = 3 cups of food

∵ The guinea pig eats 1/4 cup a day

- The pig can finish one cup in four days

∵ The number of days = number of cups ÷ the eaten in a day

∵ The number of cup = 3 cups

∵ The eaten pellets in a day = 1/4

∴ The number of days = 3 ÷ 1/4 = 3 × 4/1 = 12 days

* The pellet will last after 12 days

no this is a nonlinear negative

-22

times both sides by 2, times () by 8, add alile terms, move terms, add alike and caculate divide both sides by 3
