Week 298 (26th May 2023)

Emma has two cats called Luna and Bella.  

Both cats eat the same food but have different appetites.  

Luna is fed 1/4 of a tin of cat food, 3 times a day. 

Bella is fed 1/3 of a tin of cat food, 2 times a day.  

Emma has 13 tins of cat food left. 

How many days will the cat food last? 

Answer:  

Total number of tins consumed each day = 3 x ¼ + 2 x 1/3 = 3/4 + 2/3 = (9 + 8) /12 = 1.41667 

13 / 1.41667 = 9.176 

So, the cat food will last 9 days
