Answer:

ill try my best it's been 4 years since I learned this

Explanation:

The answer is 9 because each dog is eating 1.5 or 1 1/2 cups of dog food to get the 1.5 or 1 1/2 you must divide 6 by 4.

Now take that 1 1/2 and multiply it by 2 since where adding two dogs that equals 3

3 + 6 =9

I'm so sorry if this is wrong

6 cups and 6 dogs so you multiply and 6x6 is 36.
