    Total weight of a bag of cat food = 3 lbs.

    Number of lbs the cat eats the food = 3/4 lbs each week.

    We need to find the number of weeks does one bag that is 3 lbs last.

    In order to find the number of weeks for total 3 lbs of food, we need to to divide 3 lbs by 3/4.

    3 : 3/4.

    Let us convert division sign into multiplication and flip the second fraction, we get

    3 * 4/3.

    We can cross out common 3's from top and bottom.

    We get 4.

    Therefore, in 4 weeks one bag lasts.
