1.5 dogs eat 1.5 pounds of meat in 1.5 days this means that 1.5 dogs eat 1 pound of meat/day
or to get rid of the decimal, 3 dogs eat 2 pounds of meat/day so 16 dogs would eat 32/3 pounds of meat/day
because 2*16/3=32/3 so in 4 days they will have eaten 128/3 pounds of meat because 4*32/3=128/3
the answer is therefore 128/3 pounds of meat which can written as 42 2/3 .
we love comment so lets us know if any thing wrong or other way to approach the same :)

problem of variation:-
ReplyDelete* dogs increased- pounds will increase
=> dogs proportional to pound consumed......(1)
* dogs increase- days decrease
=> dogs inversly proportional to days..........(2)
from (1) & (2)
dogs proportional to pound per day
this will solve the problem
