Bingo will eat more dog food at 1.25 lb. per day.

Buddy will eat more dog food at 1.5 lb. per day.
To find out which dog will eat more food per day, we need to calculate the amount of food each dog consumes per day.
For Bingo:
Bingo finishes a 15-lb. bag of dog food in 10 days.
So, Bingo consumes 15 lb. / 10 days = 1.5 lb. per day.
For Buddy:
Buddy finishes a 20-lb. bag of dog food in 16 days.
So, Buddy consumes 20 lb. / 16 days = 1.25 lb. per day.
Therefore, Bingo will eat more dog food per day, consuming 1.5 lb. each day.
