Tracy feeds each of her two dogs 1.5 cups of food per meal. She feeds her dogs thrice a day. How many pounds of food do her two dogs consume if 1 pound is equal to 2.25 cups? Let's think first. Chain of thought:
Each dog consumes 1.5 x 3 = 4.5 cups of food a day. In pounds, this is equal to 4.5 / 2.25 = 2. So both consume 2 x 2 = 4 pounds of food.
Therefore, the answer is 4.
