Solution

The first dog eats 2 1/10 scoops of dog food each day. This can be written as 21/10 or 2.1 when converted to a decimal.

The second dog eats 1 1/10 scoops of dog food each day. This can be written as 11/10 or 1.1 when converted to a decimal.

To find out how much dog food the two dogs eat together each day, you add the amount the first dog eats to the amount the second dog eats.

So, 21/10 (amount first dog eats) + 11/10 (amount second dog eats) = 32/10 = 3 2/10 = 3.2

Therefore, the two dogs eat 3 2/10 scoops or 3.2 scoops of dog food each day.
