Use the ratio table given in the image attached to solve this problem. Lacy usually feeds 20 puppies at the shelter. How many ounces of food would 20 puppies need? (image attached)

560

Step-by-step explanation:

140 ÷ 5 = 28

28 x 20 = 560

please mark me as brainliest and correct me if im wrong

You could either use the propotional method or unitary method, but I am going to be using the porpotional method since it is more quick.

Step 1

So first we would convert  the numbers givin into a fraction by putting 5 over 140 and 20 over x which is the question mark.

Step 2

Then we would cross multiply, so multiply numbers that are diagonal to each other .140 would multiply with 20 and 5 would multiply with x.

Step 3

After we multiply (we do not multiply 5 with anything so it is just 5)we would have the equation , x times 5=2800. Since  we need to isolate x we would take 5 and put it under 2800 so it would be 2800 divided by 5.

Step 4

After we divide 2800 by 5 we would have 560 which equals to x , making it the ounces needed to feed 20 animals at the shelter .

Summarise

To briefly explain this the way to find the answer would be 20x40 divided by 5.

Hope this helped :D
