A:
Answer:a. We need 1/4 for each feeder b. To fill each feeder we need 1.25 poundsc. We need 60 ounces to fill three bird feedersStep-by-step explanation:Five pounds of birdseed is used to fill 4 identical bird feeders, a. We divide all the birdseed in 4 feeders, so, we need 1/4 for each feeder. b. If we use 5 pounds for the 4 feeders, so each feeders will take 1/4 of the 5 pounds =1/4 x 5=1.25 poundsc. To fill three bird feeders we have to multiply the amount of pounds by feeder by 3 feeders =1.25 pounds x 3= 3,75 poundsIf 16 ounces are a pound so, 16 x 3.75 = 60 ounces
