Abbie Chapman · Answer 1

No, she has not bought enough dog food to feed her 4 dogs for 5 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

She has 4 dogs which each eat 3/4 of a tin each day, so during each day 3/4 * = 3 tins of food are eaten. She has 12 tins, and 12/3 is 4 days without running out. She has therefore not bought enough dog food to feed her 4 dogs for 5 days.

Carolyn · Answer 2

She hasn't brought enough food
