Q. Cooper is going on vacation and taking his dog Pickles along. Pickles eats 33 cups of Hungry Hound dog food each day. Cooper wants to know how many days he can feed Pickles from a 1515-cup bag of Hungry Hound.\newlineWhich equation can Cooper use to find the number of days dd he can feed Pickles from the bag.\newlineChoices:\newline(A) d3=15\frac{d}{3} = 15\newline(B) 3d=153d = 15\newline(C) d+3=15d + 3 = 15\newline(D) d3=15d - 3 = 15\newlineSolve this equation for dd to find the number of days Cooper can feed Pickles.\newline____ days\newline
  1. Identify Equation: First, let's figure out the right equation to use. Pickles eats 33 cups a day, so for dd days, he will eat 3d3d cups. We need to find dd such that 3d3d equals the total cups in the bag, which is 1515. So, the equation is 3d=153d = 15.
  2. Solve Equation: Now, solve the equation 3d=153d = 15. Divide both sides by 33 to isolate dd. \newlined=153d = \frac{15}{3}\newlined=5d = 5.
