Joseph owns a dog that weighs 110 pounds. A bag of dog food recommends feeding a 40 pound dog 24 ounces of food per day. If x represents the amount of food needed to feed the larger dog, which proportion CANNOT be used to calculate how much food Joseph should feed his dog?

Answer :

Answer:

the proportion which CAN be used is 1760/x = 640/24   THEREFORE ANY OTHER PROPORTION CANNOT BE USED

Step-by-step explanation:

J's dog= 110lbs =1760 ounces

food recommendation on bag: 40lbs:24 ounces, therefore in ounces 760 ounces (dog weight): 24 ounces (food)

J's dog required amount,  110:x which in ounces is 1760 ounces : x ounces

so we get:

1760/x = 640/24  

 take cross products,

4224= 640x

x= 66 ounces

the proportion which CAN be used is 1760/x = 640/24   THEREFORE ANY OTHER PROPORTION CANNOT BE USED
