Answer:
Fido is 6/19 share of food.
ratio 5: 3 = 8/19: 6/19= Engle and Fido
and Denver is 5/19 = 19/19
6.25:3.75 below shows if it was 8/15
add 2 (equal share of 4) = 8.25 + 5.75 we round down to 8
we round 5.75 up to 6.
We can prove here there were always 0.25 to be rounded down and up for equal numbers and odd numbers either way.
19/19 - 5/19 = 14/19
To convert 5:3 = combined amount of 19/1 and 14/1
we add up 5 + 3 = 9
5 x 9 = 45 and 3 x 9 = 27
= 18 difference
so half of this is 9 making 45/3 = 15 and 27/3 =9
this equals 24/19 we reduce 24 by 10 = 10 = divide by 2.4
So that ratio 5 =15 /2.4 and ratio 3 = 9/2.4 to find ratio 5 =6.25 and 9 = 3.75
We compare this to all decimals as highest denominator would be 1000+
8/6 = 1.333
5/3 = 1.667
We also compare to
5:3:4 = 12
2.5 : 1.5 :2 =6
7.5 : 3 : 4 = 18
1/3 of 1 = 0.33
7.83 : 3.33 : 4.33 = 8 : 4 : 5
Denver was 6 = 5
Fido was 5 = 4
the other was 8 = 8
We couldnt change 8 as it cannot be rounded up by a full 1.
Explanation:
So the answers are more reliable with the first workings.
