The dog eats 7/32 pounds of dog food per meal, calculated by dividing the total food (7/8 lb) by the number of meals (4). This division results in multiplying (7/8) by the reciprocal of 4, which is 1/4, leading to the answer of 7/32 pounds per meal. ;
Your dog eats 32 7 lb of dog food per meal, which is calculated by dividing the total amount of 8 7 lb by 4. This gives us 32 7 lb as the amount consumed in each meal.
