Answer:

There are 3 4/5 lbs left

Explanation:

The first step is to figure out how much food the dog ate in 2 months

10 2/5

+ 10 4/5

--------------

20 6/5

Reduce 6/5 = 1 1/5

20 6/5 = 20 + 1 1/5 = 21 1/5

The dog at 21 1/5 lbs of food

There were 25 lbs of food, so we need to subtract to see how much was left

25

- 21 1/5

-------------

We have to borrow 1 from the 25. Make that 1 5/5 so the denominator is the same

24 5/5

- 21 1/5

----------------

3 4/5

There are 3 4/5 lbs left
