Serena had 5 pounds of dog food to divide among 8 dogs at the animal shelter.
If Serena gives each dog the same amount of food, how
many pounds of food will each dog get?

.625 pounds per dog

Step-by-step explanation:

divide 5÷8=.625 or 5/8

5/8= 5/8 or .625

Step-by-step explanation:

1/8= .125, so 5/8= 6.25

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
