Answer:
3/5 grams per day
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
To solve this problem, you really just have to think about it.
The shrimp is fed 3 times a day, 1/5 gram of food each feeding. So for each feeding, there is 1/5 gram of food. And there are 3 feedings...hope you're seeing what I'm getting at here (it's okay if you don't!), but basically we need to multiply.
What do we need to multiply, you ask? Well, once again: 1/5 grams of food, 3 times a day. So we must multiply 1/5 by 3. The easiest way to do is put 3 in its fraction form (3/1) and then multiply 1/5 * 3/1. Just follow the top-top bottom-bottom rule to do this. Multiply 1*3 for your numerator and 5*1 for your denominator. This gives you 3/5, which is your final answer.
If the answer requires you to put it in decimal form, you can convert by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by two or dividing 3 by 5 to get: 0.6 grams per day, which is the same thing as 3/5.
Hope this helped! :)
