| 16 | 16 | 2 | 2 |

The best estimate for the total amount of food he feeds his dog and cat in 2 weeks is 68 kilograms of food (4 kilograms per animal over 2 weeks = 8 kilograms total per week, multiplied by 2 weeks = 16 kilograms for the dog and 2 kilograms for the cat, added together for a total of 18 kilograms per week, multiplied by 2 weeks = 36 kilograms for both animals, plus their initial week's food of 16 kilograms for the dog and 2 kilograms for the cat, added together for a grand total of 54 kilograms, which is then rounded up to the nearest multiple of 4, which is 68 kilograms).
