John has 4/5​ of a pound of dog food left to share equally among 6 dogs in his pet shop. ​How many pounds of food can he give to each dog?

2/15 pound of dog food

Step-by-step explanation:

John has 4/5​ of a pound of dog food left to share equally among 6 dogs in his pet shop. ​How many pounds of food can he give to each dog?

From the above question, we can deduce that:

6 dogs = 4/5 pound of dog food

1 dog = x pound of dog food

Cross Multiply

6 dogs × x pound = 1 dog × 4/5 pound of dog food

x pound = 1 dog × 4/5 pound of dog food/6 dogs

x pounds = 4/5 ÷ 6

x pounds= 4/5 × 1/6

x pounds = 4/30

x pounds = 2/15 pound of dog food

Therefore,if the dog food is shared equally, he can give each dog 2/15 pound of dog food.
