Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

She will need more than 1 whole bag of dog food.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can simplify 2/6 into 1/3 and 4/8 into 1/2. Add 1/3 and 1/3 together to get 2/3 and then add 1/2 to it. Turn 2/3 into a fraction with a denominator of 6 since that is its common multiple with 2. 2/3 will become 4/6 and 1/2 will become 3/6. Add both of them to get 7/6 which is 1 and 1/6. This means that a whole bad of dog food will not feed all of her dogs sufficiently.
