To solve this problem, we need to determine how many dogs Jared has based on the information provided:

- Jared feeds each dog \( \frac{1}{6} \) of a can of food each day.
- He uses a total of \( \frac{5}{6} \) of a can of food each day.

To find out how many dogs Jared has, we divide the total amount of food used by the amount given to each dog:

\[
\text{Number of dogs} = \frac{\text{Total amount of food}}{\text{Amount per dog}} = \frac{\frac{5}{6}}{\frac{1}{6}}
\]

When dividing fractions, you multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor:

\[
\text{Number of dogs} = \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{6}{1} = \frac{5 \times 6}{6 \times 1} = \frac{30}{6} = 5
\]

So, Jared has **5 dogs**.

2. What if Jared fed each dog \( \frac{1}{8} \) of a can of food instead? How many dogs would he have with \( \frac{5}{8} \) of a can of food?
3. How much food would Jared need if he had 10 dogs?
4. If Jared decided to give each dog \( \frac{1}{4} \) of a can of food, how would that change the total amount of food used?
5. How many dogs would Jared have if he used \( \frac{7}{6} \) of a can of food each day?

**Tip:** When dividing fractions, always remember to multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor!

Jared feeds each of his dogs 1/6 of a can of food each day. He uses a total of 5/6 of a can of food each day. How many dogs does Jared have?
