<human>:  Tracy feeds each of her two dogs 1.5 cups of food per meal. She feeds her dogs thrice a day. How many pounds of food do her two dogs consume if 1 pound is equal to 2.25 cups?
<bot>: How many cups of food does each dog consume? ** Each dog consumes 1.5 x 3 = <<1.5*3=4.5>>4.5 cups of food a day.
How many pounds of food do each dog consume? ** In pounds, this is equal to 4.5/2.25 = <<4.5/2.25=2>>2.
How many pounds of food do her two dogs consume? ** So both consume 2 x 2 = <<2*2=4>>4 pounds of food.
