If it was 10 bags of cat food and a cat that eats 2 bags per week, we'd just divide 10/2 and get 5 weeks.

It's the same thing here, except we're dividing fractions:

[tex]n=\dfrac{3/4}{1/10} [/tex]

[tex]= \dfrac{3}{4} \times 10 [/tex]

[tex]= \dfrac{15} {2} [/tex]

As a mixed number, that's

Answer: 7 1/2 weeks
