At Sandi’s Pet Shop, 25 cups of bird seed are used every 5 days to feed 15 parakeets. How many cups of bird seed would be required to feed 14 parakeets for 7 days?  Pick
A) 40.5  B) 32.34  C) 6.23  D) 9  E) 15
Let's go step-by-step.   25 cups are used over a 5 day period, which means 5 cups a day. This feeds 15 parakeets, which means each parakeet needs 1/3 of a cup every day.   For 14 parakeets, we need 14*1/3cups = 4.62 cups a day. Over 7 days, we need 32.34 cups. Choice 32.34.
