Q. Vince owns two dogs. Each day, one dog eats 17101\frac{7}{10} scoops of dog food and the other dog eats 1121\frac{1}{2} scoops. Together, how much dog food do the two dogs eat each day?\newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.\newline____\_\_\_\_ scoops
  1. Calculate Dog Food: Calculate the amount of dog food the first dog eats in one day. Convert 17101\frac{7}{10} to an improper fraction: 1710=17101\frac{7}{10} = \frac{17}{10} scoops.
  2. Convert to Improper Fraction: Calculate the amount of dog food the second dog eats in one day. Convert 1121 \frac{1}{2} to an improper fraction: 112=321 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} scoops.
  3. Calculate Total Consumption: Add the amounts of dog food eaten by both dogs to find the total daily consumption. 1710+32=1710+1510=3210=3210\frac{17}{10} + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{17}{10} + \frac{15}{10} = \frac{32}{10} = 3 \frac{2}{10} scoops.
