Ratios are used to show a relationship between two things. In this case, it is the relationship between the amount of food (32 g) and number of days (2). Note: We know that the number of days is two because the problem says "every other day." We can write this relationship as a ratio: 32 g : 2 days First, we want to put the ratio into fractional form. ^{32g food}/_{2 days} Then, we multiply this fraction by the number of days and then again by the number of rabbits. This will give us the total amount of food needed to feed 100 rabbits for a month. ^{32g food}/_{2 days} • 30 days • 100 rabbits = 48,000 grams
