Answer 1

5/12

Explanation:

1/4=3/12

1/3=4/12

3/12+4/12=7/12

12/12-7/12=5/12

Answer 2

Answer: by combining 1/4 and 1/3 and then you find the amount of left over dog food. Multiply the fractions so they have common denominators, then add. You will get 3/12 + 4/12 = 7/12. 12 - 7 = 5, so there is 5/12 of the bag left.
