Questions: A dog kennel uses 85 lb of dog food per day. How many pounds are used in a year? The kennel uses lb of dog food in a year.

Solution Steps

To find out how many pounds of dog food are used in a year, we need to multiply the daily usage by the number of days in a year.

The daily usage of dog food is given as \( 85 \) pounds.

There are \( 365 \) days in a year.

To find the total amount of dog food used in a year, multiply the daily usage by the number of days in a year: \[ \text{Annual Usage} = 85 \, \text{lb/day} \times 365 \, \text{days/year} \]

\[ 85 \times 365 = 31025 \, \text{lb/year} \]
