In the wild, colorful orange and white clownfish eat algae and small crustaceans. in an aquarium, clownfish are typically fed finely chopped shrimp. the marine biologist knows that 15 clownfish would receive 300 servings of chopped shrimp over a 5-day period. If 22 clownfish are added to the exhibit, how many servings of chopped shrimp will the fish eat in a week?

Solution

15 clownfish ----- 5 day ---- 300 servings

15 clownfish ---- 1 day --- 300/5 servings    ( less)

1 clownfish ---- 1day ----- (300/5*15)      ( less)

22clownfish ---- 1day ---- ( 300*22/5*15)    ( more)

22 clownfish ---- 7 days ---- ( 300*22*7/5*15)   ( more)

So, 22 clownfish need in 7 days --- 300*22*7/5*15 = 616 servings
