1. At Animal Safari Park, the tropical birds in the walk-through aviary 
   eat 7.5 bags of seed a week. 
   Each bag weighs 40 kg and costs $63.  
   How many bags are used over one year?
   
   Work: 7.5 bags/week * 52 weeks/year = 390 bags/year : Answer

2. The penguins eat 3 boxes of small fish a day. 
   Each box weighs 2.4 kg and costs $6.50. 
   The park has just purchased $344.50 worth of fish. 
   How long will this last the penguins?

Work: we want number of days (how long)

($344.50) x  (1 box/$6.50) x (1 day /3 boxes)
= 17.6666666667 days  ( or 17 2/3 days  or 53/3 days)

3. The elephants eat 7 bales of hay over 2 days. 
   Each bale of hay costs $12. 
   How much would it cost to feed the elephants 
   during the month of July?
   
   Work: 7 bales/2 days * 31 days/July x $12/bale = 
   7 /2 * 31*12 = $1302 : Answer
