Grandmother bought enough cat food for her four cats to last for 12 days. On her way home she brought back two stray cats. If she gives each cat the same amount of food every day, how many days will the cat food last

The number of days the cat food will last is 8 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, it it provided that Grandmother bought enough cat food for her four cats to last for 12 days.

Assume that each cat consumes x portions of food each day.

Then the four cats will consume, 4x portions of food each day.

Then in 12 days the amount of food consumed by the 4 cats will be:

Total amount of cat food = 12 × 4x

                                          = 48x.

Now, it is provided that she on her way home she brought back two stray cats.

Then the six cats will consume, 6x portions of food each day.

Compute the number of days the cat food will last as follows:

Thus, the number of days the cat food will last is 8 days.
