Answer:
10 ÷ 16
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation is shown below
Given that
Paul required to buy 5 by 8 pound of peanuts
And, the scale at the store is in sixteenths
So, the measure that should be equivalent is
Here the denominator should be 16 so it should be multiplied by 2
= 5 ÷ 8 × 2 ÷ 2
= 10 ÷ 16
The per store donated 11 and 3/8 pounds of cat food... first you gotta make the denominators equal so 19 and 3/4 becomes 19 and 6/8 then you add the puppy and dog food together (19 6/8 +18 7/8= 38 5/8) then you take 50 and subtract the value you just got (50 - 38 5/8) and you get tour answer at 11 and 3/8 pounds
