Miguel's cat, Chester, weighs 6.8 pounds. Chester's vet tells Miguel to feed the cat 3 4 of an ounce of canned food daily for each pound of body weight. The next morning, Miguel opens a new can of food to feed Chester. If the can holds 5.5 ounces, how much food will be left after one day? Write your answer as a whole number, decimal, fraction, or mixed number. Simplify any fractions.

0.4 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

In a day

Miguel is to feed Chester ,

Chester can eat 3/4 of an ounce for each pound of body weight.

Chester weighs 6.8 pounds

Hence:

6.8 pounds = x ounces

Cross Multiply

x = 6.8 × (3/4) ounces

x = 5.1 ounces

Chester is to be fed 5.1 ounces of food each day.

The amount of food left after 1 day

= 5.5 ounces - 5.1 ounces

= 0.4 ounces

Hence, 0.4 ounces of food is left after 1 day
