Answer:
Each dog will get [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pounds of food.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let each dog get the food = x pounds
If there are 7 dogs then total food used = 7x pounds
Since Julia had total amount of food = [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pounds or [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex] pounds
Therefore, equation will be
7x = [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{7}{2\times 7}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pounds
Therefore, each dog will get [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pounds of food.
