Question

Jeff feeds the family dog on Wednesdays and his sister Melody feeds the dog on Fridays. On Wednesday, Jeff gave the dog 5/8 of an 8-ounce can of the dog food. On Friday, Melody gave the dog 1/2 of an 8-ounce can of dog food

Answer 1

8 x 5/8 = The ounces fed by Jeff
You need to convert 1/2 with the denominator of 8 with would be 4/8
8 x 4/8 = The ounces fed by Melody
HOPE THIS HELPS!!
