Answer 1

To determine which dog eats more food per day, we need to calculate the daily consumption for each dog.

For Bingo:

• Total food: 15 lbs
• Days to finish: 10 days
• Daily consumption = Total food / Days = 15 lbs / 10 days = 1.5 lbs per day

For Buddy:

• Total food: 20 lbs
• Days to finish: 16 days
• Daily consumption = Total food / Days = 20 lbs / 16 days = 1.25 lbs per day

Now we can compare their daily food consumption:

• Bingo eats 1.5 lbs per day.
• Buddy eats 1.25 lbs per day.

Thus, Bingo eats more dog food per day at 1.5 lbs.

So the answer is: Bingo will eat more dog food at 1.5 lb. per day.
