Question 735993: You can feed 6 puppies or 2 dogs with 1 can of food. If you have 10 cans and feed 21 puppies. How many dogs can you feed with the remaining food? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let = number of puppies
Let = number of dogs
( 6p ) / ( 1 can ) = ( 2d ) / ( 1 can )
or
( 1 p ) / ( 1/6 can ) = ( 1 d ) / ( 1/2 can )
--------------------- cans are left
13 dogs can be fed with remaining 6.5 cans
check:
( 1 p ) / ( 1/6 can ) = ( 1 d ) / ( 1/2 can )
( 21p / ( 7/2 can ) = ( 13d ) / ( 13/2 can )
( 6p ) / ( 1 can ) = ( 2d ) / ( 1 can )
OK
