First, we need to find out the total amount of dog food shared by Engle and Fido. Since Denver gets 8/19 of the food, the remaining amount is 19/19 - 8/19 = 11/19.
Engle and Fido share the remaining 11/19 of the dog food in the ratio 6:2, which means Fido gets 2 parts out of 6+2 = 8 parts.
Fido's share of the dog food is 2/8 = 1/4.
To express this as a percentage, we multiply 1/4 by 100% to get Fido's share as 25%. So, Fido's share of the dog food is 25%.
Denver, Engle and Fido are all dogs who eat differing amounts of dog food.
Denver gets 8/19 of the dog food.
