Question 466052
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Your math teacher probably got his tongue wrapped around his eye tooth and couldn't see what he was saying.  The correct answer is 320 ounces which is 20 pounds.


Put it to him this way:


"So if you are feeding your dog 320 pounds of food every 40 days, then you are feeding your dog about 240 pounds every month since 30 is 3/4 of 40.  Since even relatively inexpensive dog food runs nearly $1 per pound these days, that means you are spending $240 per month or nearly $3000 annually.  I should eat so well.


"Further, since you say you are feeding 8 ounces per day, you probably have a dog that weighs about 25 lbs. (c.f. <a href="http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/feeding.htm">Dog Breed Info Center</a>), and that means, at 240 lbs/month of food, you are feeding your dog nearly 10 times his body weight each month.  Hope they start "Biggest Loser for Dogs" soon.


"Bottom line, Mr. Math Teacher, math HAS to make sense."
