Answer:


20(5)/(7)(minutes)/(dog)

Explanation:

we know that

To find how much time can Nancy spend with each dog, divide the total time by the number of dogs

so


(145)/(7)(minutes)/(dogs)= (140)/(7)+(5)/(7)=20(5)/(7)(minutes)/(dog)

Since Nanci has 145 minutes of play time with 7 dogs.

You do 145÷7 which gives you 20.7 we can't round to 21 cause that would be over limit. So she has roughly 20 minutes to play with each dog.
