Flura [38]

Answer: Jack can fill his feeder 12 times with 4 pounds of birdseed.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to analize the information given in the exercise, You know that every time Jack fills the feeder, he put $\frac{1}{3}$ pounds into it.

Then, in order to solve this exercise, let "x" represents the number of times that Jack can fill his feeder with 4 pounds of birdseed.

Keeping on mind the data provided in the exercise, you can set up de following proportion:

$\frac{1}{\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{x}{4}$

Finally, you must solve for "x" in order to find its value.

You get that this is:

$3= \frac{x}{4}\\\\(3)(4)=x\\\\x=12$

Therefore, you can conclude that Jack can fill his feeder 12 times with 4 pounds of birdseed.
