You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1.5 dogs can eat 1.5 pounds of food every 1.5 days
----------------------
Twice as many dogs can eat twice as much food in the same
amount of time, so
----------------------
3 dogs can eat 3 pounds of food in 1.5 days
----------------------
1/3 as many dogs can eat 1/3 as much food in the same
amount of time, so
----------------------
1 dog can eat 1 pound of food in 1.5 days
----------------------
16 dogs can eat 16 pounds of food in the same
amount of time
----------------------
16 dogs can eat twice that amount of food in twice the time, so
----------------------
16 dogs can eat 32 pounds of food in 3 days
----------------------
16 dogs can eat 1/3 that amount of food in 1 day
----------------------
16 dogs can eat 4/3 that amount in 4 days, so
