Rover eats 0.50 pound of dry dog food per day. So, in a year, he eats 0.50 pound * 365 days = 182.5 pounds of dry dog food.1.0 kg weighs 2.2 lb, so 5.0 kg weighs 5.0 kg * 2.2 lb/kg = 11.0 lb.So, the owner needs to buy 182.5 pounds of dry dog food / 11.0 lb/sack = 16.6 sacks of dog food.Since the owner cannot buy a fraction of a sack of dog food, he needs to buy 17 sacks of dog food.
