Explanation:

Bo feeds his dog twice a day. In the morning, he feeds the dog 1/3 kg of dog food. In the evening, he feeds the dog 2/10 kg of food.

The total kilograms of food that Bo feed his dog is calculated as:

Number of kilograms fed in the morning + Number of kilograms fed in evening

= 1/3 kg + 2/10kg

The Lowest Common Denominator = 30

= 10 + 6/30

= 16/30

= 8/15 kg

Therefore, Bo feeds his dog 8/15kg of food daily.
