Q. Rebecca and Darius just discovered they both have the same breed of dog, a sheltie. Rebecca said she gives her sheltie, Bongo, 1.51.5 cups of dog food each day. Darius gives his sheltie, Daisy, 1131 \frac{1}{3} cups of dog food each day.\newlineWhich sheltie gets more dog food?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)Bongo\newline(B)Daisy
  1. Convert to Decimal: Convert the amount of dog food given to Daisy into a decimal for easier comparison.\newline1131 \frac{1}{3} cups = 1+13=1+0.333=1.3331 + \frac{1}{3} = 1 + 0.333 = 1.333 cups
  2. Compare Amounts: Compare the amounts of dog food given to each dog.\newlineBongo gets 1.51.5 cups.\newlineDaisy gets 1.3331.333 cups.\newline1.5 > 1.333
