    2 cans

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Calculate how many pounds he needs for one day:

    3 (0.5) = 1.5 pounds for each day Alvin is gone (3 represents his dogs,.5 is each dog's food)

    Convert into ounces:

    1.5*16=24 ounces for one day

    Question: If dog food is sold in 12 oz cans, how many will he need?

    24/12=2 cans

    Thus, he will need 2 cans
