Question

1. write math beni divides a pound of dog food equally among 6 dogs. draw a diagram that will show you can use a unit fraction to find how much food each dog receives.

Explanation:

Step1: Define division for equal share

Total food: 8 pounds, number of dogs: 6. We calculate $\frac{\text{Total food}}{\text{Number of dogs}}$.
Expression: $\frac{8}{6}$

Step2: Simplify the fraction

Reduce the fraction to lowest terms by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (2).
Expression: $\frac{8\div2}{6\div2} = \frac{4}{3} = 1\frac{1}{3}$

Step3: Diagram explanation (text representation)

Draw a rectangle representing 8 pounds. Divide it into 6 equal parts. Each part is $\frac{8}{6} = 1\frac{1}{3}$ pounds, which is the share per dog.

Answer:

Each dog receives $1\frac{1}{3}$ pounds (or $\frac{4}{3}$ pounds) of dog food.
For the diagram: Draw a long rectangle labeled "8 pounds". Divide it into 6 equal smaller rectangles. Label each small rectangle "$1\frac{1}{3}$ pounds" to show each dog's portion.
