Answer 1

Denver: 37%

Engle: 47%

Fido: 16%

Explanation:

Denver eats 7/19 of the dog food.

There is 12/19 left for Engle and Fido.

The ratio of Engle to Fido is 6:2.

6x + 2x = 12/19

8x = 12/19

x = (12/19)/8

x = 0.0789

2x = 0.158

6x = 0.474

7/19 = 0.368

Denver: 37%

Engle: 47%

Fido: 16%
