Alvin is planning to be out of town for the day, so he asks a friend to dog-sit his 3 dogs. Each dog eats 0.5 pounds of food every day. If dog food is sold in 12-ounce cans, how many cans should Alvin leave for the time he is away?

2 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

per day 3 * .5 = 1.5 lbs

He is gone for 1 day, so they will need 1.5 lbs

24/12 = 2 cans

2 cans
