The function $c(w)=0.06 w+0.5$ represents how many cups of food a dog weighing w pounds should eat per day. Shepard the Bloodhound weighs 80 pounds - how many cups of food should he eat per day?
Answer
Final Answer: Shepard the Bloodhound should eat \(\boxed{5.3}\) cups of food per day.
Step 1 ：The function $c(w)=0.06 w+0.5$ represents how many cups of food a dog weighing w pounds should eat per day.
Step 2 ：Shepard the Bloodhound weighs 80 pounds.
Step 3 ：To find the number of cups of food Shepard the Bloodhound should eat per day, we need to substitute $w=80$ into the function.
Step 4 ：Substituting $w=80$ into the function gives $c(80)=0.06*80+0.5$
Step 5 ：Solving the equation gives $c(80)=5.3$
Step 6 ：Final Answer: Shepard the Bloodhound should eat \(\boxed{5.3}\) cups of food per day.
