Answer:
Each container contains [tex]2.5 \ pounds \ \ OR \ \ \frac{11}{4} \ pounds \ \ OR \ \ 2 \frac{3}{4} \ pounds[/tex] of cat food.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Amount of cat food = 8 1\4 pounds.
Also 8 1\4 can be rewritten as 8.25 pounds
Number of containers =3
We need to find the amount of cat food in each container.
Amount of cat food in each container can be calculated by Dividing Amount of cat food she has with number of Containers.
Amount of cat food in each container = [tex]\frac{8.25}{3}= 2.75 \ pounds[/tex]
2.75 pounds ca be rewritten as [tex]\frac{11}{4} \ pounds \ \ OR \ \ 2 \frac{3}{4} \ pounds[/tex]
Hence Each container contains [tex]2.5 \ pounds \ \ OR \ \ \frac{11}{4} \ pounds \ \ OR \ \ 2 \frac{3}{4} \ pounds[/tex] of cat food.
