food is needed to feed the second cat?
Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.
cans

Respuesta :

Based on the information provided, to feed the second cat it is necessary 1 1/2 extra cans or 1.5 cans.

How much extra food is needed to feed the second cat?

This difference can be found by substracting the total cans fed with only one cat to the total fed with two cats:

  • 3 1/2 cans - 2 cans = 1 1/2 cans, which can also be expressed as 1.5 cans.

Based on this, to have a second cat implies 1.5 extra cans.
