To solve this problem, we can use the rate equation formula:
Number of pounds of worms = (Number of birds) * (Number of ounces of worms consumed per bird per night) * (Number of nights)
We know that 45 birds ate 9 ounces of worms in one night, so we can rearrange the equation and solve for the number of ounces of worms eaten by 75 birds:
Number of ounces of worms = (Number of birds) * (Ounces of worms eaten per bird per night) * (Number of nights)
Number of ounces of worms = (75) * (9 / 45) * number of nights
To find the number of ounces a single bird eats per night, we can divide the number of ounces the birds eat by the number of birds:
Ounces of worms per bird per night = (9 / 45) ounces
To find the number of ounces the 75 birds could eat, we can multiply the number of ounces per bird by the number of birds:
Ounces of worms the 75 birds could eat = (75) * (Ounces of worms per bird per night)
Ounces of worms the 75 birds could eat = (75) * (9 / 45) ounces
Final Answer:
Ounces of worms the 75 birds could eat = 27 ounces
