32 ocicats.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the number of ocicats that can be fed with a bag of $19\frac{1}{2}$ pounds for one week.

Convert the mixed number to a improper fraction:

Multiply the whole number part by the denominator of the fraction.Add the product to the numerator of the fraction.The denominator does not change.

Then:

$19\frac{1}{2}lb=\frac{(19*2)+1}{2}lb=\frac{39}{2}lb$

Knowing that 1 ocicat eats $\frac{3}{5}$ of a pound of food per day, you can write the following proportion:

$\frac{1}{\frac{3}{5}}=\frac{x}{\frac{39}{2}}$

Solving for "x", you get:

$(\frac{39}{2})(\frac{5}{3})=x\\\\x=32.5\\\\x\approx32$
