Karl's dog Buddy eats 24 ounces of dog food a day. Karl feeds him both canned and dry food, in any combination. Karl has 35 pounds of dry dog food and 0.5 cases of canned dog food. How many days will this food last?

25 days

Explanation:

Since we're given our measurements in different unit, first thing we do and the most important thing, is to convert the unites of measurement to the same unit. We can decide to use either ounce, or use pound. It's left to us. But in solving this, I will be using my unit as ounce, so, I will convert the pounds to ounce.

1 pound of measurement = 16 ounces of measurement

This means that,

35 pounds of measurement = 16 * 35 ounces of measurement

35 pounds of measurement = 560 ounces of measurement.

Now, with regards to the canned dog food. It says 0.5 case, assuming that there are 80 ounces in one case of a canned food, then in 0.5 case, there will be 0.5 * 80 = 40 ounces

From the dry dog food, we have 560 ounces

From the canned dog food, we have 40 ounces.

Adding both together, we have 560 + 40 = 600 ounces.

We're told that the dog eats 24 ounces on any given day, si

609 / 24 = 25

The food would last the dog for 25 days.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
