    10 days:

    Cameron can feed his cat for 10 days from a 5 pound bag of Dry Cat food

    Explanation:

    Since Cameron feed his cat twice 4 ounce of Dry cat food a day, then,

    In a day the cat will feed on dry cat food at the rate of 4 once x 2 times = 8 ounce per day.

    Also note that, 16 ounce makes a pound.

    And since Cameron's cat eats 8 ounce per day, that he eats 16 ounce in two days

    16 ounce : 8ounce per day = 2 days

    Therefore in a 5 pound bag of Dry cat food,

    Cameron can feed his cat for 10 days at the rate of 4 ounce twice ration per day.

    4 ounce x 2 = 8 ounce per day

    8 ounce x 2 = 16 ounce per 2 days = 1 pound per 2 days

    Therefore:

    5 pound : 8 ounce = 10 days.

    N = 10 days

    5 pound bag of dry food can feed the cat for 10 days

    Explanation:

    Total amount of dry cat food Cameron's cat eats per day A = 2 * 4 ounces

    A = 8 ounces

    Given that;

    1 pound = 16 ounces

    5 pounds = 5 * 16 ounces = 80 ounces

    The number of days he can feed his cat from a 5 pounds bag can be given as N;

    N = 5 pounds : 8 ounces/day

    N = 80 ounces : 8 ounces/day

    N = 10 days.
