Verified Answer :

6÷8=1 2/6 and it's even then divide 2/6 into 2 and that's1/3. The answer is 1 1/3

Answer: Each dog will get \(1\frac{1}{3}\) pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the below diagram,

There is a grid having 8 parts in every part is of 1 pound,

Now, we have to divide these parts in 6 parts,

⇒ \(Parts give to 6 dogs = 8\)

⇒ \(Parts give to 1 dog = \frac{8}{6}=1\frac{2}{6}=1\frac{1}{3}\)

Hence, each dog will get \(1\frac{1}{3}\) pounds.
