Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:one serving weight =  [tex]\frac{1}{15}[/tex] kgfood he will need = [tex]1 \frac{1}{3}[/tex] kgStep-by-step explanation:given data cat food = 5 serving food = third of a kilogramChase serving = 20 catsto find outhow much does one serving weigh and  how many kilograms of food will he needsolutionwe know here food serving = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] kgand serving 5 so 1 serving = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] one serving weigh = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]one serving weight =  [tex]\frac{1}{15}[/tex] kgandif Chase serving is  20 catsso food he will need = 20 ×  [tex]\frac{1}{15}[/tex] kgfood he will need =  [tex]\frac{20}{15}[/tex] kgfood he will need = [tex]1 \frac{1}{3}[/tex] kg
