Bowser ate 4 1/2 pounds of dog food. That amount is 3/4 of the entire bog of dog food. How many pounds of dog food were originally in the bag

because it is 3/4 of the entire bag, there has to be a Ratio:

3:4 = 4.5:w

/frac{3}{4} / frac{4.5}{w}

3w = 4.5 (4)

3w = 18

divide 3 both sided

18/3=6

w=6
